| [00:11.67] |
Here was a man |
| [00:13.47] |
A man who was born in a small village |
| [00:16.32] |
The son of a peasant woman |
| [00:18.52] |
He grew up in another small village |
| [00:21.85] |
Until he reached the age of thirty |
| [00:23.77] |
He worked as a carpenter |
| [00:25.87] |
Then for three years |
| [00:26.89] |
He was a traveling minister |
| [00:29.58] |
But he never traveled more |
| [00:30.47] |
Than two hundred miles from |
| [00:32.53] |
Where he was born and |
| [00:34.22] |
Where he did go he usually walked |
| [00:38.60] |
He never held political office |
| [00:41.06] |
He never wrote a book |
| [00:42.92] |
Never bought a home |
| [00:44.38] |
Never had a family |
| [00:46.21] |
He never went to college |
| [00:47.78] |
And he never set foot inside a big city |
| [00:50.49] |
Yes here was a man |
| [00:54.58] |
Yes here was a man |
| [00:56.67] |
Though he never did one on the things |
| [00:58.16] |
Usually associated with greatness |
| [01:01.90] |
He had no credentials but himself |
| [01:05.30] |
He had nothing to do with this world |
| [01:07.64] |
Except through the divine purpose |
| [01:10.19] |
That brought him to this world |
| [01:13.55] |
While he was still a young man |
| [01:15.64] |
The tide of popular opinion turned against him |
| [01:19.85] |
Most of his friends ran away |
| [01:22.50] |
One of them denied him |
| [01:23.91] |
One of them betrayed him |
| [01:26.24] |
And turned him over to his enemies |
| [01:29.39] |
Then he went through the mockery of a trial |
| [01:32.28] |
And was nailed to a cross between two thieves |
| [01:38.37] |
And even while he was dying |
| [01:41.09] |
His executioners gambled |
| [01:43.23] |
For the only piece of property |
| [01:45.40] |
That he had in this world |
| [01:46.99] |
And that was his robe his purple robe |
| [01:52.86] |
When he was dead |
| [01:54.74] |
He was taken down from the cross |
| [01:57.18] |
And laid in a borrowed grave |
| [01:59.32] |
Provided by compassionate friends |
| [02:03.89] |
More than nineteen centuries have come and gone |
| [02:07.12] |
And today he's a centerpiece of the human race |
| [02:10.40] |
Our leader in the column to human destiny |
| [02:15.16] |
And I think I'm well within the mark when I say |
| [02:18.16] |
That all of the armies that ever marched |
| [02:21.40] |
All of the navies that ever sailed the seas |
| [02:23.94] |
All of the legislative bodies that ever sat |
| [02:27.54] |
And all of the kings that ever reigned |
| [02:30.13] |
All of them put together have not affected |
| [02:33.27] |
The life of man on this earth |
| [02:35.07] |
So powerfully as that one solitary life |
| [02:40.76] |
Here was a man |
