A JEWISH CARPENTER CHANGED THE WORLD
HE WAS BORN TO A VIRGIN
SOME 2000 YEARS AGO
TO A JEWISH MOM AND DAD UNDER A
GOLDEN STAR THAT SHONE
THEY HAD NO IDEA THEIR BABY BOY
WAS TO BE THE PROMISED ONE
THE PROMISED ONE
HE LAID IN A MANGER UNDER
HEAVEN’S WATCHFUL EYE
ALL THE ANGELS CHEERED HIM ON
AS BABY JESUS CRIED
HE SEEMED LIKE ANY NORMAL BABE
BUT WAS THE SON OF GOD
THE PROMISED ONE
HE CAME TO CHANGE THE
WORLD
BROUGHT US THE GOOD NEWS
OF AN ENDLESS LIFE IN HEAVEN
WITH A SPECTACULAR VIEW
HE CHANGED THE WORLD
SHOWED US HOW TO LIVE
DIED FOR OUR SINS UP ON THAT CROSS
HAD SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE
A JEWISH CARPENTER CHANGED THE WORLD
GREW UP TO BE A MAN OF LOVE
AND WAS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE REST
HE WAS MANY THINGS TO SIMPLE FOLKS
HE WAS ALWAYS AT HIS BEST
HE BE CAME A MASTER CARPENTER
AND AN EXPERT FISHERMAN
THE PROMISED ONE
HE HEALED THE SICK……BROUGHT BACK THE DEAD
AND WAS A REBLE OF HIS DAY
WAS A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE
NEVER KNEW JUST WHAT HE’D SAY
HE WAS LOVED BY ALL THE PEOPLE
AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM AROUND
WAS THE PROMISED ONE
(CHORUS)
HE WAS PERCIEVED AS A THREAT TO ROME
AND TO THEIR STATUS QUO
HE SCARED THE JEWISH LEADERS
EVERYWHERE THAT HE WOULD GO
HE WAS CAUSING ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE
AND THEY HAD TO PUT HIM DOWN
THE PROMISED ONE
SO THEY LOCKED HIM UP HAD A PHONY TRIAL
AND NAILED HIM TO A CROSS
HE DIED FOR ALL OUR SINS THAT DAY
THE APOSTLES FELT GREAT LOSS
BUT HE CAME FOR US ALL
HE DIED AND THEN HE ROSE
THE PROMISED ONE
