a man called jesus
mavis staples
let me tell you about a man i know
had power two change bread two gold
never did he pray for what he didn't need
the word of god he always heeded two
born in bethlehem christmas day
a man whose life changed the way
everywhere with the holy word he went
some folks said it was absurd
he walked on water like dry land
i'm talkin' about the man called jesus
non-believers soon grew two hate
'cause when he rapped he put love in the place
this man died for the sins of the world
you can have happiness everyday
this man's life is proof and his word is the way
let me tell you about a man i know
had power two change bread two gold
never did he pray for what he didn't need
god's word he always heeded
how i love two call your name
a friend above all others
you make a way out of no way
turn the midnight into day
mary's baby born in bethlehem
you oughta get two know him
