Nobody Cared Lyrics

Nobody wanted Him,
Nobody cared.

Nobody wanted Him,
No one shared
In the promise He brought
As a babe that night.
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody cared.

Nobody lauded Him,
Nobody sang.

No crowd applauded Him,
No bells rang
When He went to the desert
To fast and pray.
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody cared.

But, Oh, how the thousands came
When the bread was multiplied!
And, Oh, how the hosannas rang
At the King's triumphant ride!
And as long as the miracles
Flowed like wine ...
They called him Wonderful,
They came to dine.
But nobody wanted Him,
No one remained.

They only taunted Him
When His cross was stained
With the blood freely given
For a world unchained.

Nobody
No one
Nobody cared.

(by Jack Hayford, 1969)
