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
