"And it's said love's never enough Where a prophet in rags gives hope to a fearful world No injustice, no heart of darkness Will keep this voice from being heard He was a man of no reputation And by the wise, considered a fool When He spoke about faith and forgiveness In a time when the strongest arms ruled But this man of no reputation Loves us all with relentless affection And He loves all those poor in spirit, come as you are To the man of no reputation"
