[Verse 1]
A D A
Caesar ruled Rome, and all its glory.
D E
Every land called Alexander Great.
A D A
But no man can compare in any story
E A
With the one man who controls so many fate.
[Chorus]
A
Yes, along the dusty road came The Nazarene.
A
Baptized by John was The Nazarene.
A
Preaching on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene.
A
Followed by the multitude was The Nazarene.
D A
Tried and condemned they laid their stripes on Him.
E A
But, like He said, back from the dead came The Nazarene.
A D A D A
Came The Nazarene.
[Verse 2]
A D A
Nothing good had ever come from Nazareth;
D E
An unimportant place in Galilee.
A D A
But the soul of any man could fall into bondage,
E A
And God had promised man could be set free.
[Chorus]
A
And then a long the dusty road came The Nazarene.
A
Baptized by John was The Nazarene.
A
Preaching on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene.
A
Followed by the multitude was The Nazarene.
A D A
Tried and condemned they laid their stripes on Him.
E A
But, like He said, back from the dead came The Nazarene.
A D A D A
Came The Nazarene. Came The Nazarene.
A D A D A
Came The Nazarene. Came The Nazarene.
