LYRICS:
Young man up on the hillside
Teaching new ways
Each word winning them over
Each heart a kindled flame

Old men watch from the outside
Guarding their prey
Threatened by the voice of the paragon
Leading their lambs away
Leading them far away

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away

Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

His rage shaking the temple
His word to the wise
His hand healing on the seventh day
His love wearing no disguise

Some say Death to the radical
He's way out of line
Some say Praise be the miracle
God sends a blessed sign
A blessed sign for troubled times

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away

Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away

Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

No! No!
No! No!

I tell you nobody knew
Until he gave his life away

I dont think it is that bad for children. The truth is Jesus dies for our sins. They have to find out evetually

[58alaska]

This is such a powerful song! When I'm in the car, I sing this at the top of my lungs1 :)

PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT BASHING CHRISTIANS WHEN I SAY THIS. I'm sorry, but this has got to be the corniest video ever. And all that praise about Mel Gibson's flick? I saw it and all it was was Jesus getting tortured for 2 hours. It felt more like a snuff film trying to guilt people into becoming better christians if anything. Shouldn't it be more important to focus on the things Jesus did rather than how he died?

[Torie3593]

@mrbeanchannel I agree. I went to see "Passion of the Christ" when that first came out and I think everyone needs to know about Jesus's death and resurrection. If we don't see it or tell about it then it was all for nothing. And He did all of that out of pure love. How many of us can decide to die like that when He chose to do it for all humanity? His love was that deep. Like the song said, His love had no disguise.

AMEN. Please let the children look, listen and learn!!!!!

[Wombat66614]

@BSDRCOZ Our sin was a infinitely more disgusting to God. The truth is sometimes ugly!! I just this last Sat. let my daughter watch the Passion of the Christ, this is NOTHING in comparison.

[MrDamezza]

GOD BLESS @LL!!!

Halleluja!!!!

JESUS A LIVE
