Lyrics
Once was a man walked on the sea
They say he came from Galilee.
On the sea, on the sea
Oh, the man from Galilee
He made the wine, made the bread
The good book says he raised the dead
Wine and bread, wine and bread
Oh, the man who raised the dead
In Jerusalem he died
On the cross was crucified
Oh he died, oh he died
On the cross was crucified
But death could not hold on to him
In three days he rose again
Rose again, rose again
Death could not hold on to him
He came to save the souls of men
Someday he will come back again
Souls of men, souls of men
Oh, he's comin' come back again
Once was a man walked on the sea
They say he came from Galilee
Came for you, came for me
Oh, the man from Galilee
Oh, the man from Galilee
