We don’t know who he was
[Noi non sappiamo chi era]

by Don Luigi Giussani

We don't know who he was,
we don't know who he was,
but he went by the name of Jesus.

Peter met him on the seashore,
Paul met him on the road to Damascus.
Come, brother: there’ll be a place,
a place also for you.

Mary met him in the public street,
Dismas met him up on the cross.
Come, brother: there’ll be a place,
a place also for you.

We met him at the last hour,
I met him at the last hour.
Come, brother: there’ll be a place,
a place also for you.

Now we know who he was,
Now we know who he was:
He was that one you sought,
He went by the name of Jesus.
