The Jesus Record cover
07. Man Of No Reputation (Rick Elias)
Album: The Jesus Record
Artist: Rich Mullins
         
 

It was said this Man
Was of no reputation
Yet He could stop, the 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 arms 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
And 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
O-oh

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 arms 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

(Ooo-ooo)

One day soon, the gates of heaven will open wide
And the Prince, of Peace will come back, for His bride

But for now we live on these streets
Forbidding and tough
Where push always comes, to shove
And it’s said love’s never enough
Where a prophet in rags gives hope, to a fearful world
No, injustice
No heart of darkness
Will keep this voice, from being heard
O-oh
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 arms ruled
But this Man of no reputation
Loves us all with relentless affection
And He loves all those poor in spirit
Come as you are
To the Man of no reputation
