lyrics

When Joseph of Judah first heard the news
That his wife’s baby boy was the king of the Jews
He thought long and hard and decided to go
Till the angel of God came to him and said, “No”

So Joe packed his bag and his new wife, Mary
And those two that left town would come back to town three
The third was the child who could set us all free
From the migrants down south to the rich shining sea

He has pulled down the princes, exalted the low
Fed the hungry good things, said the rich had to go
He called up on Peter, and he called up on Paul
He said mercy’s upon us, yes mercy for all

He called out to Simon, “Come fishing with me”
Did he carry a net, pole or water for three?
Still, Peter he came—except those hours before dawn
When he passed up the buck, as our man, he passed on

Struck down mighty Saul, said, “You son of a bitch
All this killing you're doing just makes my neck itch
And so I’m making you blind till I hope you might see:
All your murdering thunder ain’t doing for me”

He has pulled down the princes, exalted the low
Fed the hungry good things, said the rich had to go
He called up on Peter, and he called up on Paul
He said mercy’s upon us, yes mercy for all

Could you ever believe that this was the way
That the Lord up above chose to make his big play?
Not by sending an army or ship down from Mars
But a small baby boy who was born neath the stars

He has pulled down the princes, exalted the low
Fed the hungry good things, said the rich had to go
He called up on Peter, and he called up on Paul
He said mercy’s upon us, yes mercy for all
