Verse 1
G
Here was a man,
a man who was born in an obscure village,
D
the child of a simple peasant woman.
He grew up in another obscure village.
G
Until he was thirty years of age,
he worked as a carpenter,
and for three years he was
C
traveling preacher.
He never wrote a book.
He never held political office.
He never owned a home.
G
He never had a family.
D
He never went to college.
G
D
G
He never set foot inside of a big city.
He never traveled more than 200 miles
from the place of his birth,
D
and where he did go, he usually walked.
He never did one of the things
G
that one usually associates with greatness,
he had no credentials but himself.
C
He had nothing to do with this world
G
except through the supreme power
D
of its divine manhood.
While still a young man,
the tide of popular opinion
turned against him.
G
Most of his friends ran away.
One of them denied him.
D
C
One of them even betrayed him
G
C
and turned him over to his enemies.
He went through the mockery of a trial
G
D
and was nailed to a wooden cross
G
between two thieves.
D
And while he was dying,
G
his executioners gambled for
the only piece of property
that he had in this world,
and that was his robe.
D
When he was dead,
G
D
he was taken down from the cross
C
and laid in a borrowed grave
provided by friends.
G
D
The 19 wide centuries
G
have since come an d gone,
D
and today he is the centerpiece
of the human race,
the leader in the column of human progress.
G
I think that I am well within the mark
when I say that all the armies
C
that ever marched,
G
and all the navies that
C
ever sailed the seven seas,
G
all the legislative bodies that ever sat,
D
and all the kings that ever reigned,
G
all put together,
have not affected the life of man on this earth
D
G
D
so powerfully as that one solitary life.
G
Here was a man. Thank
Here Was A Man
