[Verse 1]
Caesar ruled RomAe, and all its glorDy.A  
Every land called DAlexander EGreat.
But Ano man can compare in Dany Astory
With the one man who contrEols so many Afate.
[Chorus]
Yes, Aalong the dusty road came The Nazarene.
BaptiAzed by John was The Nazarene.
PreacAhing on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene.
FolloAwed by the multitude was The Nazarene.
Tried and condemned they Dlaid their stripes on AHim.
But, like He said, back from the Edead came The NazareAne.
ACame The DNazarenAe. D  A  
[Verse 2]
ANothing good had ever Dcome from ANazareth;
An unimportant place in DGalileeE.
But the Asoul of any man could Dfall into Abondage,
And God had promised Eman could be set Afree.
[Chorus]
And Athen a long the dusty road came The Nazarene.
BaptAized by John was The Nazarene.
PreaAching on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene.
FollAowed by the multitude was The Nazarene.
ATried and condemned they Dlaid their stripes on AHim.
But, like He said, back from the Edead came The NazarenAe.
ACame The DNazarenAe. Came The DNazarenAe.
ACame The DNazarenAe. Came The DNazarenAe.
