[Chorus]
When the God-Man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-Man passes by

[Verse 1]
I was a hollow man
My treachery despised and rightly so
And even though my chains were gone
I'm still a slave and reaping what I've sown
Call it desperation, I just had to see His face
So like a child, I climbed a sycamore tree
When the God-Man called my name
I knew I'd never be the same

[Chorus]
'Cause when the God Man passes by
The blind will see and the dead will rise
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the God-Man passes by

[Verse 2]
I was a runaway
A gypsy chasing shadows in the night
A prisoner of secrets
'Till religion dragged my shame into light
All my darkness was revealed
Just when I thought my fate was sealed
My accusers dropped the stones and walked away
'Cause when the God-Man cleansed my name
I knew I'd never be the same
