He dwelt among them - over two thousand years ago
A larger than life man - today, everyone knows
Jesus, born in a stable, in the town of Bethlehem
A babe, wrapped in swaddling close, the Son of Man
His stepfather Joseph, and his mother, the Virgin Mary
Behold, the infant Jesus, sent to set the captives free
Just an innocent babe - a sign of contradiction
From very beginning - on the road to the crucifixion
At the prime of his life, a young man 33 years old
This man of division, of whom the prophets foretold
He walked among them; he walks with us this day
A message of love, truth, and mercy, paves the way
Just a young man - he suffered much affliction
Continuing his journey - on the road to crucifixion
Betrayed by one of his fold, for thirty pieces of silver
He was handed over, his soul, soon to be delivered
Convicted, beaten, scourged, and forced to carry a tree
He carried his cross, up the hill, on the road to Calvary
He dwelt among them - fulfilling the wise man's prediction
He, the Shepherd of Israel - on the road to the crucifixion
Thrown down, they drove nails through his hands and feet
Lifted him up, there to die between two convicted thieves
His precious blood dripped, till his mission was completed
Father, please forgive them, they know not what they do
He dwelt among them - he walks with us today
The Savior of the world - did rise on the third day
Still today, he continues to be a sign of contradiction
Still today, Christians, walk the blues of the crucifixion
