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

Some say He was a 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 parables that few could understand,
But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man.

Some say He was a sorcerer, a man of mystery.
He could walk upon the water.  He could make a blind man see.
That He conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread.
That He talked of being born again and raised people from the dead.

Some say a politician who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption and He bowed to no decree
And they feared His strength and power so they nailed Him to a tree.

Some say He was the 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 believe He was, 'cause that's who I believe.
And I think we should get ready, 'cause it's time for us to leave.
