A long time ago, there was a man
Who laid his life on the line
He claimed he could make the lame walk again
And give back the sight to the blind
Now some people loved him
Some people wanted to take him and put him away
Well I wasn't there to see what he did
But if he was right here today...


Chorus:
I would crawl all the way to the river
I would crawl all the way to the sea
Just to watch him walk on the water
And lay his loving hands on me.



A carpenter by trade, but the kingdom that he made
Was built without hammer and nail
It stands like a rock though the ages of time
It was built with a love that never fails
I read in the good book that some day he's coming
And some say it ain't far away
On the day that he stands on the banks of the Jordan
I know I will be on my way
