Only a Man (Live)
[Verse 1: Wesley Nilsen]
I used to live my life in fear
Was worried all the time
From waking up to laying down
I had no peace of mind
The world became a darkened place
A struggle without end
And although bitter times those were
The days that I began to understand
I was only a man
[Verse 2: Wesley Nilsen & Mary Grace Batson]
I grew up singing songs in church
With questions in my mind
Then turned my back and ran away
From God, who gave me life
And then one night, His presence fell
I wept and shook and then
I fell down and cried, "Dear Jesus
Rescue me again, I understand
I am only a man"
[Chorus: Wesley Nilsen & Mary Grace Batson]
And He said
"What will it be now?
Will you choose Me or keep swimming upstream now?
I've been inside your head
Hearing you scream out
Well, here I am, just take My hand
I'll take out all of the pain
And all of the fear"
Mm, all of the fear
[Outro: Wesley Nilsen & Mary Grace Batson]
I'll give You my burdens
I'll give you peace
And all of my desires
I'll give you what you need
Oh, what about these chains, Lord?
I'll set you free
They're so heavy
Well, lay them at My feet
I'll lay them at Your feet
Just promise You won't leave
I'll never leave
So where do I go from here, Lord?
Just follow Me, just follow Me
I'll follow You
Just follow Me
Wherever You lead, wherever You lead
Wherever You lead
