Lyrics

Once there was a man and jesus was his name
He made the blind to see and he healed the poor and lame
He walked upon the earth he lived and died like any other man
But on the third day he did something no other man can
You see jesus was the son of god he never knew a sin
He came down from the heavens so that we could make it in
He taught us how to love and then we hung him on a rugged tree
But death it could not claim him and the savior won the victory

Well once there was a woman who was drawing from a well
Her evil deeds were many and her soul was bound for hell
But jesus had compassion and he told her she could find the way
He forgave her sins and he took her blues away
And then there was another who was dragged into the street
The people shoved her down and they kicked her with their feet
The lady was a hooker and the people said she had to die
But jesus grabbed a rock and he looked the people in the eye
He said..

He who is among you who has never done a crime
You can cast the very first stone
He who is among you who has never known a sin
This right is yours and yours alone
This woman is a sinner but she gets a second chance
I'll die in her place and for any other man
Drink of my salvation and you'll never have to die
There's no more sinner's blues 'cause I paid the sacrifice

Well I am just a human and I know that I've done wrong
My evil deeds are many and my list of sins is long
But I believe in jesus and that he can take my sins away
That's why I'm in his temple and I'm singing this song today
Well, your'e a sinner too, no matter what you say
You're guilty of something, god can make it go away
Just give your live to jesus and repent from your deepest heart
No, it won't make you perfect, but it sure is a darn good start

He who is among you who has never done a crime
You can cast the very first stone
He who is among you who has never known a sin
This right is yours and yours alone
We people are all sinners but we get a second chance
'Cause jesus paid the price for every single man
Drink of his salvation and you'll never have to die
There's no more sinner's blues 'cause he paid the sacrifice
No, there's no more sinner's blues, 'cause jesus paid the sacrifice
