Jesus Of Galilee

He who was slain gave up His domain to die for you....
His recompense was a crown fastened with thorns....
The sacrifice to warrant your price
Was God's only Son;
Bound in despair, He cried: "Father it's done".
                    Chorus
Born in a manger, reared in temptation,
Exposed to danger, ever was He;
Stripped of all grandeur, died in rejection,
He was the stranger from Galilee.

His humble life, though weary at times had love for all�.
His words of life, free of pride reached every soul;
They who in fright would come to his side
Not knowing so;
That in His plight often cried: �To whom shall I go?�

Often he�d find so many inclined to do Him wrong�.
Yet in His ways, ever kind, never declined;
To heal their lame, to raise their dead,
From time to time;
Yet in His prayer he cried: �Father I�m alone�.

El t�tulo de este canto es "Jes�s de Galilea". La primera estrofa y el coro dicen:
Aquel que fue crucificado dejo Su dominio para morir por ti....
Su recompensa fue una corona vendada con espinas....
El sacrificio que pago tu deuda
Fue el �nico Hijo de Dios;
Ligado en la desesperaci�n, clam�: "Padre consumado es".
                    El coro
Nacido en pesebre, se cr�o rodeado de tentaci�n,
Expuesto al peligro, siempre fue;
Asolado de toda grandeza, muri� en el rechazo,
�l fue el extranjero de Galilea.
