I want to tell you 'bout a man.
This man from Galilee.
He is my Savior and my Lord.
He gave us light to see.

He came to do His Father's will,
That only he could do,
And lived a mortal life, like us;
With pain like me and you.

So special was this perfect man,
Who lived so long ago,
His life was an example of
The path on which to go.

Within His life, sore trials came
But never changed His ways.
He taught us all that we must do
While living out our days.

Then, in the Garden, late one night,
He bled from every pore.
While taking on himself our sins,
His agony was sore.

And then, in innocence, this man
Was scourged and beat by some.
And yet, He stood in silent strength
When others would have run.

He, then, was taken to the hill,
Golgotha it was named.
And there, they nailed Him to a cross.
Unjustly, He was blamed.

He suffered much, for all of us,
Then died there on the cross.
The whole world shook and cried that day,
While morning His great loss.

But, when the days had numbered three,
And to their great surprise,
He broke the bands of death and rose
Before the soldiers eyes.

Incase, this truth, you haven't heard
Or don't believe it's true,
This man is Jesus Christ our Lord.
And this, I swear to you.

He lived and died. I know it's true.
And still, He lives today.
And now, we have eternal life
Because He rose that day.

So, join with me and praise His name;
Our Lord, our God, our King.
Repent and seek His guiding help,
Through prayer and words we sing.
