There was this Big Guy   And He had a great idea   He built Himself a world   And He put people on it      But the people, they turned wicked   And they soon forgot   Who had made their very being   And put them on their planet      So the Guy, He sent His very own Son   His only, Holy Son   And He sent Him to the World   'Cause something had to be done      His Son walked around and He told the truth   Like the truth had never been told   He was kind to the poor   His home was the road      Unlike any other hero   Of which a song could be sung   He never did bad to anyone   He never did no wrong      But there were other people who weren't so nice   And they plotted to take His life   And the Man knew all about it   But He didn't even hide      And they beat Him and they robbed Him   And they hung Him for being good   And they laughed and they joked   While they stood in His blood      But there's a happy ending to the story   I think you'll be glad to know   He came back to life in glory   And up from the grave He arose      So before you turn out your lights   Remember this one Man   Who lived comfortably in Heaven   But gave it all up to hang on a cross      Because He hung for you and me   And He came to set us free   'Cause His Dad had a great idea   About the way things ought to be
