Lyrics

Well, a man walked down by Galilee
So the Holy book does say
And a great multitude was gathered there
Without a thing to eat for days
Up stepped a little boy with a basket
"Please take this, Lord" he said
And with just five loaves and two little fishes
Five thousand had fish and bread
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
Now, pay close attention little children
It's somebody you ought to know
Yeah, it's all about a man that walked on earth
Nearly two thousand years ago
Well, He healed the sick and afflicted
And He raised them from the dead
Then they nailed Him on an old rugged cross
And put thorns on His head
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
Well, they took Him down and they buried Him
And after the third day
When they came to His tomb, well, they knew He was gone
'Cause the stone was rolled away
"He's not here for He is risen"
The angel of the Lord then said
And when they saw Him walking with His nail-scared hands
They knew He came back from the dead
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
Who was it everybody? (It was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ, our Lord
