The Outlaw

The Outlaw

Some say he was an outlaw, that he roamed across the

land,

With a band of unschooled ruffians and 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

That his voice could calm an angry crowd and 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,

That he came to be a servant and to set us free from

sin,

And that's who I believe he is cause that's what I

believe,

And I think we should get ready cause it's time for us

to leave.
