"Man of No Reputation"
From Rich Mullins' "The Jesus Record"
Words and Music by Rick Elias

Capo 1


D G/D  D  D2(no3)
D G


D/F#   Em7          D                 G    D
          It was said this Man was of no reputation
             F#m              G
Yet he could stop the rising storm
       F#m             Asus  A
With a gesture of his hand
        D                G        D
But he chose to use his hands to heal
  A/C#   Bm   A   G      D/F#   Am 
   G   F#
       Hearts of darkness,     hearts of stone
Em             D          G      D
   Just like mine, would be revealed

A7sus  A7             D               D/E
            He was a Man of no reputation
             Dmaj7/F#              Gmaj7
And by the  wise,  considered a  fool
         D                       G/D
When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
     Asus                          A
In a time  when the strongest arms ruled

         G             D
But this Man of no reputation
              Bm          A           G      D/F#
Loved the weak    with relentless affection
             D/E                  Dmaj7/F#                Gmaj7
     And he loved all those poor in   spirit just as they were
        Asus     A    D       G/D
He was a man of no    reputation

D  A7sus  D  G

It was said this Man brought only confusion
That He'd achieve His ends by any means
That the truth would bring revolution
And for once they were right
The truth set us free

The hearts of the captive were His only concern
And the powerful knew their days were ending

He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
Where he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled

But this man of no reputation
Loved the weak with relentless affection
And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
He was a man of no reputation

F2       Em7                 D                  
  A7
One day soon the gates of Heaven will open wide
          F#2       Em7                          Asus  A
And the Prince of Peace will come back for His bride
                D
But for now we live on these streets
   G/D            D
Forbidding and tough
      F#m7                    G2
Where push always comes to shove
         Fmaj7              Asus  A
And it's said love's never enough
           D                             G      D     A/C#
Where a prophet in rags gives hope to a fearful world
Bm  A G       D/F#    Am   G   
        Em
No  injustice,     no heart of darkness
     D                    G     D
Will keep this voice from being heard

He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
When he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled

          G           D/F#
But this man of no reputation
          Bm         A           G      Dmaj7/F#
Loves us all    with relentless affection
         D/E                Dmaj7/F#        Gmaj7
And he loves all us poor in   spirit, come as you are
      Asus     A     D
To the Man of no reputation

D       A7sus         D    G
D/F#    A7sus/E       D
