Who was He... this Lad so fair;
who was not afraid to go anywhere?

Who was He... this Lad so bold;
whom others listened to what He told?

If we had been living way back then;...
would we have listened when...
would we have listened when...
He spoke of Love and Kindness and Truth;...
Would we have listened way back then...
to this precious youth?
Would we have listened way back then...
to this precious youth?
When He spoke even the winds obeyed...
and there were many times...
He just stopped and prayed.
and there were many times...
He just stopped and prayed.
His name was Jesus... and He came to show
us the way... to live our lives;
and have peace each day.
us the way... to live our lives;
and have peace each day.
If I had been living way back then... I hope
that I would have been His Friend!
that I would have been His Friend!
But we were not living when He calmed the sea;
and gave His life for you and me.
and gave His life for you and me.
We are living here and now to this you will
agree... And we still need help in this troubled
world... and a friend; our problems to see.
agree... And we still need help in this troubled
world... and a friend; our problems to see.
Jesus is with us here and now...
Just as much as He was back then...

If we open our heart and soul to Him...
He still will be our friend!

If we thank God each day for this precious
friend... whom He sent to us long ago...
friend... whom He sent to us long ago...
To teach us of Love and Kindness and Truth;
our lives will be peaceful... I know!

For God didn't put us in a troubled world...
and leave us to go astray...
and leave us to go astray...
He created us to have peace and joy...
and contentment every day!
and contentment every day!
Just as the crowds followed Him long ago,
when He stopped to show them the way,,,
when He stopped to show them the way,,,
We can follow Him even now,,,
every hour of every day!
every hour of every day!
And we too can have peace and joy...
and a soul that is free from strife;
and a soul that is free from strife;
If we just stop and listen to Him...
as we travel along the road of life.
as we travel along the road of life.
Would we have listened way back then...
when this youth was sent to be out friend?
when this youth was sent to be out friend?
And are we listening to Him today...
as we travel along life's way?
as we travel along life's way?
He is here to bring us peace and joy...
if we open our heart to Him...
if we open our heart to Him...
Yes:... Jesus... who was sent long ago...
to calm the sea and wind...,
to calm the sea and wind...,
Will calm our soul... this very hour;
if only we come to Him.
if only we come to Him.
