 well a man walked down by gallilie so the holy book does say
 and a great multitude  was gathered  there without a thing  to eat for days
up  stepped a little boy with a basket this lord he said
and  with just five loaves and 2  little fishes 5,000  had fish and bread
 
 Who was it everybody
who  was it everyboDy
who  was it everybody
It  was jesus christ our lord
 
 now pay close attention little children he's somebody you otta know
ya  it's all about a man that walked  on earth nearly 2  thousand years ago
well  he healed the sick and afflicted and he raised them from the dead
then  they nailed him on an old rugged  cross and put thorns  on his head
 
 Who was it everybody
who  was it everybody
who  was it everybody
it  was jesus christ our lord
 
 Well they took him down and they burried him and after the 3rd day
when  they came to the tomb well they new  he was gone for the stone  was rolled away
he  is not here for he has risen the angel of the lord than said
and  when they saw him walkin' with his nailed  scarred hands they new  he had come back from the dead
 
 Who was it everybody
who  was it everybody
who  was it everybody
it  was jesus christ our lord
