Jesus was a working man |
| [00:07.79] |
And a hero you will hear |
| [00:11.54] |
Born in the town of Bethlehem |
| [00:15.80] |
At the turning of the year |
| [00:19.06] |
At the turning of the year |
| [00:24.26] |
When Jesus was a little lad |
| [00:27.76] |
Streets rang with his name |
| [00:30.62] |
For he argued with the older men |
| [00:35.17] |
And put them all to shame |
| [00:38.61] |
He put them all to shame |
| [00:43.25] |
He became a wandering journeyman |
| [00:47.34] |
And he traveled far and wide |
| [00:50.95] |
And he noticed how wealth and poverty |
| [00:55.72] |
Live always side by side |
| [00:59.32] |
Live always side by side |
| [01:03.93] |
So he said "Come all you working men |
| [01:07.88] |
Farmers and weavers too |
| [01:11.29] |
If you would only stand as one |
| [01:15.49] |
This world belongs to you |
| [01:18.97] |
This world belongs to you" |
| [01:23.89] |
When the rich men heard what the carpenter had done |
| [01:28.07] |
To the Roman troops they ran |
| [01:31.53] |
Saying put this rebel Jesus down |
| [01:36.10] |
He's a menace to God and man |
| [01:39.54] |
He's a menace to God and man |
| [01:44.61] |
The commander of the occupying troops |
| [01:48.18] |
Just laughed and then he said |
| [01:51.15] |
"There's a cross to spare on Calvaries hill" |
| [01:54.80] |
By the weekend he'll be dead |
| [01:58.24] |
By the weekend he'll be dead" |
| [02:03.82] |
Now Jesus walked among the poor |
| [02:07.60] |
For the poor were his own kind |
| [02:11.13] |
And they'd never let them get near enough |
| [02:14.69] |
To take him from behind |
| [02:18.31] |
To take him from behind |
| [02:23.07] |
So they hired one of the traders trade |
| [02:26.94] |
And an informer was he |
| [02:30.06] |
And he sold his brother to the butchers men |
| [02:33.65] |
For a fistful of silver money |
| [02:37.11] |
For a fistful of silver money |
| [02:42.72] |
And Jesus sat in the prison cell |
| [02:46.20] |
And they beat him and offered him bribes |
| [02:49.91] |
To desert the cause of his fellow man |
| [02:53.26] |
And work for the rich men's tribe |
| [02:57.00] |
To work for the rich men's tribe |
| [03:01.80] |
And the sweat stood out on Jesus' brow |
| [03:05.76] |
And the blood was in his eye |
| [03:09.16] |
When they nailed his body to the Roman cross |
| [03:12.86] |
And they laughed as they watched him die |
| [03:16.54] |
They laughed as they watched him die |
| [03:24.98] |
Two thousand years have passed and gone |
| [03:28.72] |
Many a hero too |
| [03:31.59] |
But the dream of this poor carpenter |
| [03:36.41] |
Remains in the hands of you |
| [03:39.84] |
Remains in the hands of you |
