C5
There was this big Guy
       C5          F5
And He had a great idea.
   C5
He built Himself a world
                     G5
And He put people on it.

        C5
But the people they turned wicked,
C5            F5
And they soon forgot
        C5
Who had made their very being
                      G5
And put them on their planet.

       C5
So the God He sent His very own Son,
    C5        F5
His only holy Son.
       C5
And He sent Him to the world
                           G5
'cause something had to be done.

C5
His son walked around and He told the truth
C5                            F5
Like the truth had never been told.
       C5
He was kind to the poor,
                 G5
His home was the road.

C5
Unlike any other heroes
C5                       F5
Of which a song could be sung,
         C5
He never did bad to anyone.
                G5
He never did no harm.

C5
But there were other people who weren't so nice
C5                           F5
And they plotted to take His life
        C5
And the Man knew all about it
                   G5
But He didn't even hide.

C5
And they beat Him and they robbed Him
C5                          F5
And they hung Him for bein' good.
         C5
And they laughed and made jokes
                        G5
While they stood in his blood.

C5
But there's a happy ending to the story.
C5                        F5
I think you'll be glad to know
        C5
He came back to life in glory,
                         G5
And up from the grave He arose.

C5
So before you turn out your light,
C5                F5
Remember this one Man
          C5
Who lived comfortably in heaven
                                G5
But gave it all up to hang on a cross.

C5
Because He hung for you and me
C5                    F5
And He came to set us free.
           C5
'Cause his Dad had a great idea
                              G5  C5
About the way things ought to be.
