I heard him come

I saw his very face

I wondered who

Would come into this place

Where dead men walk

And where the dying talk

Of life before

The curse upon them came

He looked on me

He must have felt my gaze

He came toward me

Through the crowded maze

And I a leper

In shame hid my head

Till someone said,

Jesus, is his name

And he said, Nations fall behind him

The rivers crawl to find him

Mountains move

Just to let him through

Come and never leave him

Just let your heart believe him

Never let his light go

Never let your love grow dim

He fed a thousand

With one loaf of bread

I saw him raise

A child from the dead

He healed the sick

The blind man saw his eyes

The lame man stood

And joyous were his cries

And he said, Nations fall behind him

The rivers crawl to find him

Mountains move

Just to let him through

Come and never leave him

Just let your heart believe him

Never let his light go

Never let your love grow dim

I saw his pain

As they nailed him to a cross

I wish that we

Could understand the cost

He looked on me

As he had once before

Saying, Teach my word

To all forever more

And I'll say, Nations fall behind him

The rivers crawl to find him

Mountains move

Just to let him through

Come and never leave him

Just believe

And never let his light go

Never let your love grow dim
