Jesus walked upon the earth,

On the shores of Galilee,

And why did I taste of death

before I even drew a breath,

Laid my head at my mother's breast,

to sleep.



Oh Jesus,

used in the ministry,

A doctor who would find a cure

for some terrible disease,

Even if I'd been born imperfect

why couldn't my parents see,

That I'd have been made perfect

when you came back for me.



Oh Jesus

Chorus

Oh Jesus, what was I supposed to be,

Oh Jesus, what was I supposed to be
