lyrics

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

Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Oh I'm glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through

I saw Adam leave the garden with an apple in his hand
I asked "Now you're out, man what are you gonna do?"
"Plant some crops, pray for rain, maybe raise a little Cain
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passin' through."

Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Oh I'm glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through

Now I too woke up one morning on the cross
And I said "hey fellas, I think I'm lost
And I'm not too sure what I am supposed to do"
They said, "sometimes folks they get caught sinnin'
And have to start back from the beginning,
But in the end, we're all just passing through"

Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Oh I'm glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passin' through
