The man from Galilee

It's always amazed me how events of 2000 years ago are still so influential in our lives today. No matter whether you believe Jesus was the Son of God or not, He was a brilliant communicator, probably the best in history. The song was inspired by a leaflet I picked up in Bath Abbey.

He never wrote a book
He never appeared on MTV
He never travelled more
Than 200 miles in any direction from Galilee

He never wielded political power
He never commanded no army
He didn't need any money
To heal the sick and the lame of Galilee

He never drove a Mercedes Benz
He never owned no property
He didn't need a luxury yacht
To catch fish for the starving in Lake Galilee

Betrayed by the very first Judas
Executed at the age of thirty three
Nailed and stabbed and speared and beaten
He lives on to set us free

He never attended no premiere
He never got chased by paparazzi
He didn't need Hello! magazine
To spread His word to the world from Galilee

Betrayed by the very first Judas
Executed at the age of thirty three
Nailed and stabbed and speared and beaten
He lives on to set us free

He never wrote a book
He never appeared on MTV…
