A long time ago there was a Man Who laid down His life on the line He claimed He could make the lame walk again And give back the sight to the blind Now some people loved Him Some people wanted to take Him and put Him away Well I wasn't there to see what he did But if He were right here today
I would crawl all the way to the river I would crawl all the way to the sea Just to watch Him walk on the water
And lay His loving hands on me
A carpenter by trade but the kingdom that He made Was made without hammer and nails It stands like a rock through the ages of time It was built with the Love that never fails I've read in the Good Book that some day He's coming And some say it ain't far away But the day that He stands on the banks of the Jordan This sinner will be on his way
