《Here Was A Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Here Was A Man - Johnny Cash

[00:00:09] Here was a man a man who was born in a small village

[00:00:13] The son of a peasant woman

[00:00:16] He grew up in another small village

[00:00:19] Until he reached the age of thirty he worked as a carpenter

[00:00:23] Then for three years he was a traveling minister

[00:00:26] But he never traveled more than

[00:00:27] Two hundred miles from where he was born

[00:00:30] And where he did go he usually walked

[00:00:36] He never held political office

[00:00:38] He never wrote a book never bought a home

[00:00:40] Never had a family he never went to college

[00:00:43] And he never set foot inside a big city

[00:00:49] Yes here was a man

[00:00:51] Though he never did one on

[00:00:52] The things usually associated with greatness

[00:00:55] He had no credentials but himself

[00:00:58] He had nothing to do with this world

[00:01:00] Except through the devine purpose

[00:01:02] That brought him to this world

[00:01:07] While he was still a young man

[00:01:09] The tide of popular opinion turned against him

[00:01:12] Most of his friends ran away one of them denied him

[00:01:17] One of them betrayed him and turned him over to his enemies

[00:01:20] Then he went through the mockery of a trial

[00:01:22] And was nailed to a cross between two thieves

[00:01:26] And even while he was dying his executioners gambled

[00:01:30] For the only piece of property that he had in this world

[00:01:33] And that was his robe his purple robe

[00:01:40] When he was dead he was taken down from the cross

[00:01:43] And laid in a borrowed grave provided

[00:01:45] By compassionate friends

[00:01:50] More than nineteen centuries have come and gone

[00:01:53] And today he's a centerpiece of the human race

[00:01:56] Our leader in the column to human destiny

[00:02:00] I think I'm well within the mark

[00:02:02] When I say that all of the armies that ever marched

[00:02:06] All of the navies that ever sailed the seas

[00:02:09] All of the legislative bodies that ever sat

[00:02:12] And all of the kings that ever reigned

[00:02:15] All of them put together have not affected

[00:02:17] The life of man on this earth

[00:02:20] So powerfully as that one solitary cheery life

[00:02:27] Here was a man

[00:02:30] Joy to the world the lord is come
