From White Blossoms From Black Roots, but with the introduction removed

lyrics

​Well a blind man standing by the side of the road
He was a blind from birth, it was a heavy load
And though he lived a good life he could not see
Up walked the man from Galilee

He touched those eyes and he made that blind man see
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee

Lazarus died and for four long days
He laid in the grave and he did not raise
His sisters kept saying how can this be
Up walked the man from Galilee

He said Lazarus come forth and he was set free
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee

You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do not stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you

You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do the stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you

Well they nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground
They put soldiers at the grave and there were people walking round
Saying this is the end of christianity
Up rose the man from Galilee

When I die I know where I want to be
Standing in the presence of the man, yeah
There ain't never been nobody like the man, yeah
Never been nobody like the man from Galilee

And this is just the beginning​
