[Verse 1]
The greatest man that ever lived
Was born to parents humble and poor
Yet He became the Savior
Which all the world was to adore
[Verse 2]
No, [?]
Nor did He travel to any distant land
Yet He held a divine power of God
[?]
[Bridge]
Betrayed and forsaken He was sentenced to die
On a cross between two thieves
But [?] for He is the light of humanity
To all who believe
[Verse 3]
He brought salvation and peace to man
And on the cross His precious blood He shed
Ruler of heaven and earth is He
The greatest man that ever lived
[Bridge]
Betrayed and forsaken He was sentenced to die
On a cross between two thieves
But [?] for He is the light of humanity
To all who believe
[Verse 3]
He brought salvation and peace to man
And on the cross His precious blood He shed
Ruler of heaven and earth is He
The greatest man, yes, that ever lived
