INTRO: G G/C G G/C G G/C G G/C

Some say He was an [G/C]outlaw, that He roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians and a few old fishermen
No one knew just where He [G/C]came from or exactly what He’d
done
But they said it must be something bad that kept Him on the
run. [G/C] [G/C]

Some say He was a [G/C]poet that He’d stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd or make the waves stand
still
That He spoke in many [G/C]parables that few could under-stand
But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man.
[G/C] [G/C]

Some say He was a [G/C]sorcerer a man of myste-ry
He could walk upon the water. He could make a blind man see.
That He conjured wine at [G/C]weddings and did tricks with fish
and bread.
That He talked of being born again and raised people from the
dead. [G/C] [G/C]

1ST BREAK: G G/C G G/C D C G G/C G G/C D F C G

Some say a poli-[G/C]tician who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corrup-[G/C]tion and He bowed to no de-
cree
And they feared His strength and power so they nailed Him to a
tree. [G/C]

2ND BREAK: C6 D7 Em6 C G6 Em Am Am6 G

Some say He was the [G/C]Son of God a man above all men
But He came to be a servant and to set us free from sin
And that’s who I be-[G/C]lieve He was ‘cause that’s who I be-
lieve
And I think we should get ready ‘cause it’s time for us to
leave.

ENDING: C6 D7 Em6 C G6 Em Am Am6 G
