And the prophets had said
Referring to this place right here
He shall be called
A Nazarene
Caesar ruled Rome
And all its glory
Every land called Alexander Great
But no man can compare
In any story
With the one man
Who controls so many's fate
Yes, along the dusty road
Came the Nazarene
Baptized by John
Was the Nazarene
Preaching on the top of the mountain
Was the Nazarene
Followed by the multitude
Was the Nazarene
Tried and condemned
They laid their stripes on Him
But like He said
Back from the dead
Came the Nazarene
Nothing good had ever come
From Nazareth
An unimportant place
In Galilee
But the soul of any man
Could fall into bondage
And God had promised
Man could be set free
And then along the dusty road
Came the Nazarene
Baptized by John
Was the Nazarene
Preaching on the top of the mountain
Was the Nazarene
Followed by the multitude
Was the Nazarene
Tried and condemned
They laid their stripes on Him
But like He said
Back from the dead
Came the Nazarene
Came the Nazarene
Came the Nazarene
Came the Nazarene
Came the Nazarene
Came the Nazarene
