There once was a man

Who was born to be king

He changed all our lives

And he made my heart sing

He turned water into wine

And called his fishermen

He cured the sick

The lame could walk

The blind could see again

He told us of the shepherds

And the flowers in the field

The story of the farmer's seed

And the harvest it would yield

He told us of two houses

And the man who lost his son

Of two men in the temple

And the good samaritan



Love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home





He healed the soldier's servant

He calmed the raging sea

He shared five loaves and two small fish

And five thousand he did feed

He told the rich men share your wealth

He cured the ten sick men

He raised a friend called lazarus

And made him whole again



He said love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home





He taught the children how to pray

The children he did bless

And mary came with perfume

Before his feet she wept

He gave us bread - his body

He gave us wine - his blood

He asked us all to live in peace

And nothing do but good

Now one friend did betray him

Another did deny

With arms outstretched he died

So all of mankind could survive



There once was a man

Who was born to be king

He'll change all your lives

If you'll just let him in



He said love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Love

Only love's gonna carry you home





Love and understanding carries you home



Love

Only love's gonna take you higher

Higher and higher

He said love

Only love's gonna carry you home

Love...
