(acoustic guitar intro) (verse 1) The crowd gathered round the gates of the town Waiting for Him to arrive They laid down their palms, and they raised up their arms And they shouted Hosannas to Him (chorus 1) His name was Jesus, teacher of all Son of a common man Jesus, a prophet who taught All that is in God's plan His name was Jesus, one more good man, maker of miracles But they knew not his worth And their praise only lasted a moment, (verse 2) The days quickly passed as he taught in the streets The rulers were not pleased at all So they worked out a plan to take him in the night When all around was dark (verse 3) Then they gathered the crowd in the streets of the town And they whispered their words of hate Crucify Him, crucify Him, crucify Him Let His blood be on our hands (chorus 2) His name was Jesus, teacher of all Son of a common man Jesus, a prophet who taught All that is in God's plan His name was Jesus, one more good man, maker of miracles But they knew not his worth Their praise turned to wrath And they gave Him up to die (bridge 1) They beat Him and scourged Him and crowned him with thorns And led Him down Calvary way But He made not a sound, and gave up no fight As he gave His life away With the nails in His palms, He stretched out His arms And he cried, Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Father forgive them Then He laid down His head (pause) and died (chorus 3) His name is Jesus, Savior to all Son of the most high God Jesus, creator and keeper of all that is good His name is Jesus, Healer and Lord Holy and Righteous is He And I will praise Him forever and ever Throughout eternity (bridge 2) He bled and died on the cross crucified Then He rose from the grave and He sits on the throne Forever and ever. Forever and ever (chorus 3) His name is Jesus, Savior to all Son of the most high God Jesus, creator and keeper of all that is good His name is Jesus, Healer and Lord (refrain) Holy and Righteous is He Holy and Righteous is He Holy and Righteous is He And I will praise Him forever and ever And I will praise Him forever and ever And I will praise Him forever and ever forever and ever forever and ever and ever
