This Man Is Me

[Verse 1:] Once upon a time I used to think That the love we shared would never leave (Hmm, yeah) Once upon a time I used to say That you were the best thing That ever happened to me Oh, but I'm a man first And I've never ever seen a man hurt, oh-oh-oh Until he wears his heart on his sleeve [Chorus:] This man is pleading out loud, oh oh oh Heavy was the head that wore the crown, oh This man is me This man was me [Verse 2:] A new day is rising up A new love in God we trust A new angel in my life, oh My back′s up against the wall Who knew that heartbreak would ever cost? God's got me covered with his love Oh, yes he does This man is ready for war, oh-oh-oh Just a black man covered in thorns [Chorus:] This man is pleading out loud Heavy was the head that wore the crown This man is me This man was me [Verse 3:] I'm walking out this fire I′m living proof, I made it through Because of you I can′t lose When I'm with you, I win Heal my heart, heal my mind There′s no way, I can't deny [Chorus:] This man is me, this man was me This man is me, this man was me [Post-Chorus:] Thank you Jesus for your love Thank you Jesus Oh yeah, thank you Jesus Where would I be without you Jesus? For your late night hugs, thank you Jesus
