Nazareth Lyrics

All your winding roads and crooked paths

The ancient dust, kicked up and settled back

Was holy ground, but no one knew

He who dwelt with them had dwelt with angels, too

The summers hot, the winters cold

Repeat the stories of the prophets old

The years passed by, traditions kept

Passed down to the sons, the sons of Nazareth

Nazareth, did you know

Who lived within your walls and who called you home

Those who passed Him by each day on the road

Would long forget the sacred stories never told

And I wonder when He turned His back and left

Did He weep for you, Nazareth

His love for you brought Him back once more

From His mouth the words Isaiah said before

Amazement turned to bitterness

They drove Him out for good to the wilderness

Nazareth, did you know

Who lived within your walls and who called you home

Those who passed Him by each day on the road

Would long forget the sacred stories never told

And I wonder when He turned His back and left

Did He weep for you

A hallowed secret kept within your walls

The hometown of a king though your footprint be so small

No honor here, they'd all too soon forget

The prophet, priest, & king

The prophet, priest, and king from

Nazareth, did you know

Who lived within your walls and who called you home

Those who passed Him by each day on the road

Would long forget the sacred stories never told

And I wonder when He turned His back and left

Did He weep for you, Nazareth
