A Man Lyrics

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
