Simon Bore the Cross: IV. Who Is That Man?

Who is that man who goes to help my son,

who is he? Who is he?

I never saw him before. Who is that man?

I never saw him around.

Now he's come to help my son

bear the burden of his heavy cross.

Who is that man?

Who shares the suff'ring of my Jesus,

the glory of my precious son.

Who is that man? So dark, so beautiful his face. Look at his face so strong and full of grace. Who is he? Who is he?

Never in the marketplace have I beheld him, Could my prayers have sent him here?

God keep him strong, and bless his soul,

the dark one. Who is that man?
