A Man
My mama told me about a Man
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The One who died and rose for me
I was living my life in the fast lane
Down a one way road
Tears dripped as I glanced in the rear view
I didn't know where to go
Red letter pages blowing behind me
In the bed of my truck
Sharp turn coming
That's what I get for running
I'm out of luck
Flashback to '05
Walking toward the kinder gate
I held the hand of a Man
I didn't recognize
But to Him I'd pray, cause
My mama told me about a Man
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The One who died and rose for me
Deep breaths as I run at a slow pace
Got many miles to go
Tryna ease my mind so I get through
With pain comes growth
Every step I gotta leave what's behind me
So I don't get stuck
The deserts where the Son is
It's where I go to find Him
Who needs luck?
My mama told me about a Man
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The one who died and rose for me
I would lose this fight
I'd keep hating myself
But the Man went and left His throne
To take my nails
I would've taken that turn
Down the dead end road
But the Man took the wheel
And drove away with the debt I owed
So i'll run to Him
Give Him all I am
Spend the rest of my days
Telling everybody while I can
My mama told me about a Man
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The One who
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The One who died and rose for me
I was living my life in the fast lane
Down a one way road
Tears dripped as I glanced in the rear view
I didn't know where to go
Red letter pages blowing behind me
In the bed of my truck
Sharp turn coming
That's what I get for running
I'm out of luck
Flashback to '05
Walking toward the kinder gate
I held the hand of a Man

But to Him I'd pray, cause
My mama told me about a Man
Who gave his life up just for me
Though innocent, He put Himself on a rugged cross
To set this captive free
I know that I can't
Live this life out perfectly
But starting today I'm gonna honor
The One who died and rose for me
Deep breaths as I run at a slow pace
Got many miles to go
Tryna ease my mind so I get through

Every step I gotta leave what's behind me
