Lyrics
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
