There is a stranger in town
He's given sight to the blind
He is a great emancipator
He turns water to wine
He even healed the ten
Who were bound by disease
What manner of man is this whose voice can control the seas
Some say
He is great I am that prophets spoke of
Some even say He's Emanuel, the Son of God
This stranger, stranger, stranger from Galilee
The man from Galilee...
Do you know, do you know, do you know the man?
Do you know, do you know, do you know the man?
Do you know, do you know, do you know the man?
Do you know, do you know, do you know the man?
What a man?
Who's the man?
He's the man?
Jesus the man!
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know the man!
