Verse 3
a family he never went to college
and (A major) he never set foot inside a big city
Yes here was a man (D major)
Though he (A major) never did one on the (B minor) things
usually associated (G major) with greatness
(B minor) (E major) He had no credentials but himself
he had nothing to do with this world
Verse 4
Ex (A major) cept through the devine purpose
that brought him to this world (D major)
While he was still a young man the tide of

one of them denied him
(A major) One of them betrayed him and turned him
over (D major) to his enemies

(A major) Then he went
through the mockery of a trial
(D major) And was nailed to a cross
between two thieves

his executioners gambled
For (D major) the only piece of (G major) prop
erty that he had in this (A major) world

And that was his robe (D major)
his purple robe
When he was (G major) dead he was
taken down from the cross

(D major) ate friends (G major)
More than nineteen centuries
(A major) have come and gone
And (D major) today he's
Verse 7
a centerpiece of the human (A major) race
Our leader in the column to
human (D major) destiny
I think I'm well within the mark when I say that
all of the armies that ever marched
All of the navies that ever sailed the seas
All of the (G major) legislative
Verse 8
bodies that ever sat (A flatdim) and all
of the kings that ever reigned
(D major) All of them put together (A major) have not affected
the life of man on this earth
So power (D major) fully as that one
solitary life
Here was a (D major) man (joy to (G major) (A major)
(D major) the world the Lord is come)
