Once there was a simple man 
Lived beside the sea
Held the world within his hands
Who can this man be?
Who can this man be?

Knew the name of Israel
Held it in his heart
When his time had been fulfilled
He felt it break apart
Felt it break apart.

Who is this Jesus
Is he man - Is he King?
Is he the carpenter
The builder of a dream
Did he have to die
For us to understand
That perfect love
Was this man.

Wonder how it all began
Did he feel the change?
Did he hear the desert wind
Calling out his name?
Calling out his name.

Brother, teacher of the way
Truth sits on your brow
Did you choose the life you gave
Freely for us all?
Freely for us all.

Who is this Jesus
Is he man - Is he king?
Is he the carpenter
The builder of a dream?
Did he have to die
For us to understand
That perfect love
Was this man.
