Who do I see a-coming this way, isn’t he son of Mary and J.?
(She’s his mother, God is his father)
Who’s that hanging out with the poor, filling them till they hunger no more?
(Name is Jesus, came to redeem us)
Who’s that in the temple I hear, telling good news to everyone near?
(Call him teacher, more than a preacher)
Singing listen all ye children, Man of Galilee is coming
Giving glory to the Father, hallelujah to the Son
Better listen now ye children, Man of Galilee be coming back again
Who’s that talking down by the well, telling that truth that nobody tells?
(He’s a healer, secret revealer)
How does he know the people by name, laugh with the dumb and walk with the lame?
(Gonna save you, says he forgave you)
How did he learn to heal with his hands, walk on the sea and fish on the land?
(Come and see him, maybe you’ll meet him)
Singing listen all ye children, Man of Galilee is coming
Giving glory to the Father, hallelujah to the Son
Better listen now ye children, Man of Galilee be coming back again
What’s that sound of wailing I hear, why are there people hiding in fear?
(Mary’s crying, Jesus is dying)
Why do they want to kill a good man, wouldn’t he come on down if he can?
(No one made him, he knowingly gave in)
Shouldn’t that stone be guarding that cave, why did they steal him out of his grave?
(Ask the gardener, he may look familiar)
When the Son of Man is lifted up he will draw all nations
Raise your trembling hand, trade your bitter cup for a cup of salvation
When the Son of Man is lifted up he will draw all nations
So lift him high; lift the name of Jesus high
Who’s that stranger waking my soul, cutting me through and making me whole?
(He is risen, King of the living)
Who’s that breaking in through my door, telling me not to doubt anymore?
(Son of glory, Lord of the story)
Seeing him tear the veil of my gloom, why does he need to leave us so soon?
(Not an ending, see him ascending)
Singing listen all ye children, Man of Galilee is coming
Giving glory to the Father, hallelujah to the Son
Better listen now ye children, Man of Galilee be coming back again
