(Jesus is a) Magic Man


Cold late night so long ago
Twas a man who couldn't walk you know
Jesus came to him
the man’d never seen eyes so true

He thought it might be a dream
Jesus stood with agleam

It seemed Christ knew him
He looked right to him
"Go on and walk, man"Jesus said with a smile
"You can walk away from here you are now agile"

Try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
Jesus is a magic man.

Then one night Lazarus died too soon
Was buried deep inside a tomb

Mary and Martha’s family had been severed.
They'd lost their brother forever.
Jesus came on a call
to see some old friends, that's all

"He's dead" they said in a fury
Jesus wept in a hurry

"Come on out, Laz" Jesus cried at the grave stone
"You are just sleeping and your sisters want you at home!"
Try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
Jesus is a magic man, whoa ooo yeah
He's a magic man

"Come on home, children" he will say with a smile
"I cast all my love on you, woman, man and child!
But try to understand, try to understand
Jesus is a magic man.
