It was Jesus
D
1. Well, a man walked down by
A
so the Holy Book does say,
D G
and a great multitude was
gathered there,
A D
without a
thing to eat for days.
D
2. Up stepped a little boy with a basket,
A
"Please take this, Lord!"
he said.
D G
And with just five loaves and
two little fishes
A D
five thousand had fish and
bread.
G
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
D
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
G

D
3. Now pay close attention little children,
A
it's somebody you outta know.
D G
Yeah, it's all about a man
that walked on earth,
A D
nearly two thousand years ago.
D
4. Well, he healed the sick and afflicted,
A
and he raised them from the
dead.
D G
Then they nailed him on an old
rugged cross,
A D
and put thorns on his head.
G
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
D
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
G
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)

D
5. Well, they took him down and they buried him,
A
and after the third day,
D G
when they came to his tomb,
well, they knew he was gone,
A D
`cause the stone was rolled
away.
D
6. "He's not here, for he has risen,"
A
the angel of the lord then
said.
D G
And when they saw him walkin' with his nail-scarred hands,
A D
they knew he came back from
the dead.
