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
