[00:03.95]Jesus was a working man
[00:07.79]And a hero you will hear
[00:11.54]Born in the town of Bethlehem
[00:15.80]At the turning of the year
[00:19.06]At the turning of the year
[00:24.26]When Jesus was a little lad
[00:27.76]Streets rang with his name
[00:30.62]For he argued with the older men
[00:35.17]And put them all to shame
[00:38.61]He put them all to shame
[00:43.25]He became a wandering journeyman
[00:47.34]And he traveled far and wide
[00:50.95]And he noticed how wealth and poverty
[00:55.72]Live always side by side
[00:59.32]Live always side by side
[01:03.93]So he said  "Come all you working men
[01:07.88]Farmers and weavers too
[01:11.29]If you would only stand as one
[01:15.49]This world belongs to you
[01:18.97]This world belongs to you"
[01:23.89]When the rich men heard what the carpenter had done
[01:28.07]To the Roman troops they ran
[01:31.53]Saying put this rebel Jesus down
[01:36.10]He's a menace to God and man
[01:39.54]He's a menace to God and man
[01:44.61]The commander of the occupying troops
[01:48.18]Just laughed and then he said
[01:51.15]"There's a cross to spare on Calvaries hill"
[01:54.80]By the weekend he'll be dead
[01:58.24]By the weekend he'll be dead"
[02:03.82]Now Jesus walked among the poor
[02:07.60]For the poor were his own kind
[02:11.13]And they'd never let them get near enough
[02:14.69]To take him from behind
[02:18.31]To take him from behind
[02:23.07]So they hired one of the traders trade
[02:26.94]And an informer was he
[02:30.06]And he sold his brother to the butchers men
[02:33.65]For a fistful of silver money
[02:37.11]For a fistful of silver money
[02:42.72]And Jesus sat in the prison cell
[02:46.20]And they beat him and offered him bribes
[02:49.91]To desert the cause of his fellow man
[02:53.26]And work for the rich men's tribe
[02:57.00]To work for the rich men's tribe
[03:01.80]And the sweat stood out on Jesus' brow
[03:05.76]And the blood was in his eye
[03:09.16]When they nailed his body to the Roman cross
[03:12.86]And they laughed as they watched him die
[03:16.54]They laughed as they watched him die
[03:24.98]Two thousand years have passed and gone
[03:28.72]Many a hero too
[03:31.59]But the dream of this poor carpenter
[03:36.41]Remains in the hands of you
[03:39.84]Remains in the hands of you
