There once was a man Who was born to be king He changed all our lives And he made my heart sing He turned water into wine And called his fishermen He cured the sick The lame could walk The blind could see again He told us of the shepherds And the flowers in the field The story of the farmer's seed And the harvest it would yield He told us of two houses And the man who lost his son Of two men in the temple And the Good Samaritan
Love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home
He healed the soldier's servant He calmed the raging sea He shared five loaves and two small fish And five thousand he did feed He told the rich men share your wealth He cured the ten sick men He raised a friend called Lazarus And made him whole again
He said love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home
He taught the children how to pray The children he did bless And Mary came with perfume Before his feet she wept He gave us bread - his body He gave us wine - his blood He asked us all to live in peace And nothing do but good Now one friend did betray him Another did deny With arms outstretched he died So all of mankind could survive
There once was a man Who was born to be king He'll change all your lives If you'll just let him in
He said love Only love's gonna take you higher Love Only love's gonna carry you home
Love and understanding carries you home
Love Only love's gonna take you higher Higher and higher He said love Only love's gonna carry you home Love...
