It was said this man was of no reputation Yet He could stop a rising storm With a gesture of His hand But He chose to use His hands to heal Hearts of darkness, hearts of stone Just like mine would be revealed He was a man of no reputation And by the wise, considered a fool When He spoke about faith and forgiveness In a time when the strongest arm ruled But this man of no reputation Loved the weak with relentless affection And He loved all those poor in spirit Just as they were He was a man of no reputation It was said this man brought only confusion That He'd achieve his ends by any means And the truth would bring revolution Well, for once they were right The truth set us free The hearts of the captive were his only concern And the powerful knew their days were ending He was a man of no reputation
And by the wise, considered a fool When He spoke about faith and forgiveness In a time when the strongest arm ruled But this man of no reputation Loved the weak with relentless affection And He loved all those poor in spirit Just as they were He was a man of no reputation One day soon the gates of heaven will open wide And the Prince of Peace will come back for His bride He was a man of no reputation And by the wise, considered a fool When He spoke about faith and forgiveness In a time when the strongest arm ruled But this man of no reputation Loves the weak with relentless affection And He loves all those poor in spirit Come as you are To the man of no reputation, oh... No reputation, oh, a man Oh, no reputation Oh, a man Oh, no reputation, oh...
