C               F           C               G    Dm
Young man up on the hillside, teaching new ways.
                       Am   F              Em       Am    C
Each word winning them over.  Each heart a kindled flame.
                F           C                   G    Dm
Old men watch from the outside. Guarding their prey.
                                Am
Threatened by the voice of the paragon,
F              Em    Am  F               Em    Am
leading their lambs away.   Leading them far away.

CHORUS
Am      F                 Em     F                G        C
Nobody knew His secret ambition. Nobody knew His claim to fame.
Am           F                        Em
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition.
F                G     Am
He tore the Holy veil away.
Am           F                   Em
Questioning those in powerful position.
F                     G          C
Running to those who called His name.
     Am     F               Em      Am                  G     C
(but)Nobody Knew His secret ambition.   Was to give His life away.

   C                F         C                    G    Dm
2.)His rage shaking the temple.   His word to the wise.
                          Am       F                  Em    Am     C 
His hand healing on the seventh day. His love wearing no disguise.
                    F         C                  G      Dm
Some say,"Death to the radical- He's way out of line".
                         Am      F            Em     Am      F
Some say,"Praise be the miracle. God sends a blessed sign".
                    Em      Am
A blessed sign for troubled times. (chorus).
