 It was said  this Man was of no  reputation
 Yet he could stop  the rising storm
 With a gesture  of his hand
 But he chose  to use his hands  to heal
 
  Hearts  of darkness, hearts of stone
 Just like mine,  would be  revealed
 He was a Man  of no reputation
 And by the wise, considered  a fool
 When he spoke  about faith and forgiveness
 In a time  when the strongest arms ruled
 But this Man  of no reputation
 Loved the weak  with relentless  affection
  And he loved  all those poor in  spirit  just as they were
 He was a  man of no  reputation
 It was said this Man brought only confusion
 That He'd achieve His ends by any means
 That the truth would bring revolution
 And for once they were right
 The truth set us free
 The hearts of the captive were His only concern
 And the powerful knew their days were ending
 He was a man of no reputation
 By the wise, considered a fool
 Where he spoke about faith and forgiveness
 In a time when the strongest arms ruled
 But this man of no reputation
 Loved the weak with relentless affection
 And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
 He was a man of no reputation
 One  day soon the gates of Heaven will open wide
 And the Prince  of Peace  will come back for His bride
 But for now we live  on these streets
 Forbidding  and tough
 Where push  always comes to shove
 And it's said  love's never enough
 Where a prophet  in rags gives hope to a fearful world
 No injustice,  no heart of darkness
 Will keep  this voice from being heard
 He was a man of no reputation
 By the wise, considered a fool
 When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
 In a time when the strongest arms ruled
 But this man  of no reputation
 Loves us all  with relentless  affection
 And he loves  all us poor in  spirit,  come as  you are
 To the  Man of no  reputation

And for once they were right
The truth set us free

The hearts of the captive were His only concern

In a time when the strongest arms ruled

But this man of no reputation
Loved the weak with relentless affection
And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
He was a man of no reputation

For[G/D]bidding and tou[D]gh

Will [D]keep this voice from [G]being [D]heard

He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled

But this m[G]an of no rep[D/F#]utation
Loves us a[Bm]ll    with [A]relentless a[G]ffectio[Dmaj7]n     [F#]
And he lo[D/E]ves all us poor in [Dmaj7]  spir[F#]it, come a[Gmaj7]s you are
