Lyrics
THERE WAS A MAN
Words and music written by Steven Oudean 2002
VERSE 1
There was a man, who lived long ago,
Who loved you more than you?ll ever know
And he died so painfully, took our shame on that awful tree
And he did it all for you and me? (You and me)
VERSE 2
Why did he care? (Why did he care?) So much for us,
We were unworthy of his kind of love
Yet he looked beyond our faults and he found a treasure there
Hidden in each and every one of us? (One of us)
BRIDGE
Oh, Jesus we were so heartless, we didn?t understand your message
We didn?t realize what you meant to us until it was too late... (Until it was too late)
CHORUS
Oh, Jesus we love you so, and we?re sorry, we let you go
So just hold us in your arms once again?
And Jesus we need you so, we need you now and forever more
So just help us and keep us strong till the end?
{Instrumental}
CHORUS
Oh, Jesus we love you so, and we?re sorry, we let you go
So just hold us in your arms once again?
And Jesus we need you so, we need you now and forever more
So just help us and keep us strong till the end?
ENDING
And be our special friend
Be our special friend?
{slight pause}
There was a man
