Who was this man that Mary called her son
Who was this man that Peter called his friend
A patient teacher wise beyond his years
A gentle healer who soothed away their tears
His name was Jesus a maverick in his day
A Nazarean who followed a new way
God became man and shattered history
He took on flesh to show us what we could be
He gathered round him a band of gentle men
And welcomed all no matter what their sin
He lived and taught a truth they’d never heard
The spirit of the law embodied in God’s word
His journey took him to a cruel cross
His friends forsook him thinking everything was lost
But on that fateful day on a hill called Calvary
He did His Father’s will and won the victory
Who was this man that Mary called her son
Who was this man that Peter called his friend
A patient teacher wise beyond his years
A gentle healer who soothed away their tears
