Then one day a man stopped by
He said "Follow me and be a fisher of men."
So I went and didn't even ask why
Others followed too and as we journeyed we asked
What manner of man could He be
For we watched Him heal the lame and diseased...
This man of Galilee.
Then He came on board and said, "Launch out to the deep let down your nets for a draught."
So I wearily turned and did as He said
And was astonished at the fishes we caught
I don't understand the power of this man
As I fell down there at His knees
For His presence alone had revealed my sin....
This man of Galilee
I followed from afar when they took Him from
The Garden fo Gethsemane
They brought Him to trial and as I watched by the fire A maid said she recognized me
I cursed and I swore but when His eyes met mine
I went out and wept I would never deny....
This man of Galilee
We ran to the tomb when we heard He had risen
And then I stepped inside
I stood in wonder when I saw the grave clothes
Of the one who had been crucified
Was it true I questioned could He be alive
Oh how could a thing like this be
But as we gathered He came and stood in our midst...
This man of Galilee
Then He led us out and was blessing us there
At a place called Bethany
When a cloud received Him out our sight
We stood there still trying to see
"Why stand ye here gazing up into Heaven,"
Asked the ones who were standing near me
"For as you've seen Him go so shall He return...
This man of Galilee."
