Who is this man from Galilee?
Born on a cloudless, starry night
No rooms available at the inn
A feed box becomes His bed
Holy Spirit brings forth this child
Virgin Mary becomes His loving mother
Humble beginning for Christ the King
Nation of Israel burdened by hopelessness
Oppressed under cruel, harsh Roman rule
Waiting for their God fulfilling Messiah
Little do the people really know
God has arrived in their midst
Bringing a way to eternal Salvation
Who is this man from Galilee?
Mary and Joseph care for Immanuel
Angels of God watch over all
Providing wise counsel through Joseph’s dream
Sending the family to Egypt’s safety
Avoiding Herod’s bloody and inhumane wrath
Fulfilling Scripture, God calls His Son
Returning home from the Egyptian lands
A dutiful boy becomes a Nazarene
Learning the worthy trade of carpentry
At twelve, He visits Jerusalem’s temple
Amazing all with His Godly perspectives
Spending time in His Father’s House
Who is this man from Galilee?
Baptized by John at the Jordan
Spending forty days and nights alone
Tempted by the evil one’s craftiness
Facing temptations like any of us
Overcoming and banishing each of them
Materialism, hedonism, and egoism mean nothing
This Nazarene man moves to Galilee
Beginning His ministry with a purpose
Calling out to twelve imperfect men
Take up your cross, follow Me!
God’s Word becomes bread of life
Disciples now fish for lost people
Who is this man from Galilee?
Reaching out to forsaken, sinful people
Performing miracles, left and then right
Preaching the Sermon on the Mount
Turning simple water into wedding wine
Healing the sick and the lame
All signs of His glory with God
Feeding the 5,000 seems truly impossible
Walking on water before Peter’s eyes
Few can imagine His ultimate fate
Eyes and ears closed and unaware
This man called Jesus brings light
On Resurrection Day, fulfilling God’s promise
The world now knows Jesus Christ!
