《Here Was A Man (Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Joy to the world the Lord is come

[00:00:00] Here was a man a man

[00:00:03] Who was born in a small village

[00:00:05] The son of a peasant woman

[00:00:08] He grew up in another small village

[00:00:11] Until he reached the age of thirty

[00:00:14] He worked as a carpenter

[00:00:16] Then for three years

[00:00:18] He was a traveling minister

[00:00:20] But he never traveled more

[00:00:21] Than two hundred miles from

[00:00:23] Where he was born and

[00:00:25] Where he did go he usually walked

[00:00:32] He never held political office

[00:00:34] He never wrote a book

[00:00:36] Never bought a home

[00:00:38] Never had a family

[00:00:40] He never went to college

[00:00:42] And he never set foot inside a big city

[00:00:47] Yes here was a man

[00:00:51] Though he never did one on the things

[00:00:52] Usually associated with greatness

[00:00:56] He had no credentials but himself

[00:00:59] He had nothing to do with this world

[00:01:01] Except through the divine purpose

[00:01:03] That brought him to this world

[00:01:07] While he was still a young man

[00:01:10] The tide of popular opinion turned against him

[00:01:14] Most of his friends ran away

[00:01:17] One of them denied him

[00:01:19] One of them betrayed him

[00:01:21] And turned him over to his enemies

[00:01:24] Then he went through the mockery of a trial

[00:01:28] And was nailed to a cross between two thieves

[00:01:32] And even while he was dying

[00:01:35] His executioners gambled

[00:01:37] For the only piece of property

[00:01:39] That he had in this world

[00:01:41] And that was his robe his purple robe

[00:01:45] When he was dead

[00:01:46] He was taken down from the cross

[00:01:48] And laid in a borrowed grave

[00:01:49] Provided by compassionate friends

[00:01:55] More than nineteen centuries have come and gone

[00:01:58] And today he's a centerpiece of the human race

[00:02:02] Our leader in the column to human destiny

[00:02:06] I think I'm well within the mark when I say

[00:02:09] That all of the armies that ever marched

[00:02:12] All of the navies that ever sailed the seas

[00:02:15] All of the legislative bodies that ever sat

[00:02:18] And all of the kings that ever reigned

[00:02:22] All of them put together have not affected

[00:02:24] The life of man on this earth

[00:02:26] So powerfully as that one solitary life

[00:02:33] Here was a man

[00:02:56] Joy to the world the Lord is come
