Here Was A Man - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Here was a man a man who was born in a small village[00:00:09]
The son of a peasant woman[00:00:13]
He grew up in another small village[00:00:16]
Until he reached the age of thirty he worked as a carpenter[00:00:19]
Then for three years he was a traveling minister[00:00:23]
But he never traveled more than[00:00:26]
Two hundred miles from where he was born[00:00:27]
And where he did go he usually walked[00:00:30]
He never held political office[00:00:36]
He never wrote a book never bought a home[00:00:38]
Never had a family he never went to college[00:00:40]
And he never set foot inside a big city[00:00:43]
Yes here was a man[00:00:49]
Though he never did one on[00:00:51]
The things usually associated with greatness[00:00:52]
He had no credentials but himself[00:00:55]
He had nothing to do with this world[00:00:58]
Except through the devine purpose[00:01:00]
That brought him to this world[00:01:02]
While he was still a young man[00:01:07]
The tide of popular opinion turned against him[00:01:09]
Most of his friends ran away one of them denied him[00:01:12]
One of them betrayed him and turned him over to his enemies[00:01:17]
Then he went through the mockery of a trial[00:01:20]
And was nailed to a cross between two thieves[00:01:22]
And even while he was dying his executioners gambled[00:01:26]
For the only piece of property that he had in this world[00:01:30]
And that was his robe his purple robe[00:01:33]
When he was dead he was taken down from the cross[00:01:40]
And laid in a borrowed grave provided[00:01:43]
By compassionate friends[00:01:45]
More than nineteen centuries have come and gone[00:01:50]
And today he's a centerpiece of the human race[00:01:53]
Our leader in the column to human destiny[00:01:56]
I think I'm well within the mark[00:02:00]
When I say that all of the armies that ever marched[00:02:02]
All of the navies that ever sailed the seas[00:02:06]
All of the legislative bodies that ever sat[00:02:09]
And all of the kings that ever reigned[00:02:12]
All of them put together have not affected[00:02:15]
The life of man on this earth[00:02:17]
So powerfully as that one solitary cheery life[00:02:20]
Here was a man[00:02:27]
Joy to the world the lord is come[00:02:30]
