Verse 1

The world didn't need another carpenter

So why would God now have a hammer in his hand?

The world didn't need another fisherman

So why'd he cast a net in waters he could command?

If not to show us that he knows us, and whatever this life throws us?

He's the God who chose to live it all firsthand.

Chorus

He's walked right where you've walked,

Stepped right where you've stepped,

Cried the tears you've cried, felt the pain you've felt.

He's stepped out of glory and into your story

So the next time you don't think he understands

Remember it was for you that God would bend to be a man.

Verse 2

The world didn't need another tyrant with a fist of iron demanding we all bow.

The world instead would see a humble servant

A savior king with thorns his only crown

Just to show us that he loves us, and though he rules and reigns above us

He would make a way to take us by the hand.

Chorus

He's walked right where you've walked,

Stepped right where you've stepped,

Cried the tears you've cried, felt the pain you've felt.

He's stepped out of glory and into your story

So the next time you don't think he understands

Remember it was for you that God would bend to be a man.

Bridge

This man of sorrows acquainted with our grief

You've never faced a single thing he's not already seen.

He's never distant he's never far away.

He's the only God who will lean in close enough to say

Chorus

I've walked right where you've walked, stepped right where you've stepped,

Cried the tears you've cried felt the pain you've felt.

I stepped out of glory right into your story

So the next time you don't think I understand

Oh the next time you don't think I understand remember it was for you I would bend to be a man.
