I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
                C                                                               G
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
                 C                                                      F
He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do - it's getting late.
            C                               G                    C
I've so little time and I'm only passing through."

C                                                                                                                    C7                      F
Passing through, passing through.  Sometimes happy, sometimes blue, glad that I ran into you.
               C                          G                          C

            C                                                                    G
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
                       C                                                      F
"Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane.
            C                                    G                    C
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through."

I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
                  C                                                F
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
