There was this big Guy

And He had a great idea

He built Himself a world

And He put people on it

But the people they turned wicked

And they soon forgot

Who had made their very being

And put them on their planet

So the God He sent His very own Son

His only, only Son

And He sent Him to the world

'Cause something had to be done

His son walked around

And He told the truth

Like the truth had never been told

He was kind to the poor

His home was the road

Unlike any other hero

Of which a song could be sung

He never did bad to anyone

He never did no harm

But there were other people who weren't so nice

And they plotted to take His life

And the Man knew all about it

But He didn't even hide

And they beat Him and they robbed Him

And they hung Him for being good

And they laughed and made jokes

While they stood in his blood

But there's a happy ending to the story

I think you'll be glad to know

He came back to life in glory

And up from the grave He arose

So before you turn out your light

Remember this one Man

Who lived comfortably in heaven

But gave it all up to hang on a cross

Because He hung for you and me

And He came to set us free

'Cause his Dad had a great idea
