It was Jesus

 

                   D                                

1. Well, a man walked down by Galilee,   

                                           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

Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)

It was Jesus Christ our Lord

 

              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)

It was Jesus Christ our Lord

 

                       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.
