Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How does a humble, son of a carpenter
And a virgin, born in the middle of a forgotten spot in Bethlehem
By providence, impoverished, in humility, grow up to be a savior and a teacher?
The 30-year-old Messiah without a sin
Got a lot farther by being a lot kinder, by being a lot wiser
By being a self-sacrificer, by 30 they placed him in charge of a spiritual charter
[Chorus]
And everyday while sinners were being lost and led astray
Across the lands, he struggled and kept his faith up
Inside he was longing for everyone to be a part of
The brother was ready to heal, save, guide or pardon
[Verse 2]
Then a storm came, and temptation reigned
Our man saw his future cup, filling up with pain
Put a prayer to his lips, connected it to his faith
And he spoke his first sermon, a testament to his grace
[Chorus]
Well the word got around, they said “This man is divine, man!”
Took up a collection just to feed the multitudes on the grassland
“Get your salvation, don’t forget from whence you came
And the world’s gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”
[Bridge]
Jesus Christ
My name is Jesus Christ
And there’s a million thing I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait
Verse 3]
When he was 12, his parents lost him, full of wit, wisdom ridden
3 days later, see Mary and Joseph awe-stricken
Amazed, sitting in their own wonder, the sense thick
And Jesus got wiser but his youth went quick
[Chorus]
Moved in with society, the society committed sin
Left him with nothing but pure love, something new within
A voice saying, “Jesus you gotta save them from hell”
He started preaching and reading every scripture on the shelf
[Outro]
There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been just a carpenter without a hint of absolution
Started working, healing for his late Father’s children
Trading fish and bread and all the things he can afford
[Chorus]
Scanning for every soul he can get his hands on
Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on
The mount of a hill preaching for a new land
In Heaven you can be a new man (In Heaven you can be a new man)
Just you wait (In Heaven you can be a new man)
Just you wait
In Heaven you can be a new man
In Heaven (Heaven)
Just you wait!
In Heaven you can be a new man (In Heaven you can be a new man)
Just you wait (In Heaven you can be a new man)
Just you wait
In Heaven you can be a new man
In Heaven (Heaven)
Just you wait!
[Chorus]
Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ), we’re waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
Oh, Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ), when the world sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be same, oh
The cross is on the hill now, see if you can spot him
Another savior coming up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his life, Peter forgot him
We fought for him
Me, I died for him
Me, I trusted him
Me, I loved him
And me, I’m the one who denied him
[Outro]
There’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait
What’s your name man?
Jesus Christ!
The cross is on the hill now, see if you can spot him
Another savior coming up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his life, Peter forgot him
We fought for him
Me, I died for him
Me, I trusted him
Me, I loved him
And me, I’m the one who denied him
[Outro]
There’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait
What’s your name man?
Jesus Christ!
