Man Up
[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
What did Jesus do when they sentenced him to die?
Did he try to run away? Did he just break down and cry?
No, Jesus dug down deep, knowing what he had to do
When faced with his own death, Jesus knew that he had to
Man up, he had to man up
So he crawled up on that cross and he stuck it out
And he manned up, Christ, he manned up
And taught us all what real manning up is about
And now it's up to me and it's time to man up
Jesus had his time to, now it's mine to man up
I'm taking the reins, I'm crossing the bear
Just like Jesus, I'm growing a pair
I've gotta stand up, can't just clam up
It's time to man up
'Cause there's a time in your life when you know you've got to man up
Don't let it pass you by, there's just one time to man up
Watch me man up like nobody else
I'm gonna man up all over myself
I've got to get ready, it's time to, time to
What did Jesus do when they put nails through his hands?
Did he scream like a girl? Or did he take it like a man?
When someone had to die to save us from our sins
Jesus said, "I'll do it," and he took it on the chin
He manned up, and he manned up
He took a bullet for me and you
That's man up, real man up
And now it's my time to do it too
Time to be a hero and slay the monster
Time to battle darkness, you're not my father
I'm gonna time to, just watch me go
Time to stand up and steal the show
Time to, mine to, time to, time to
Time to
