There is a Man



There was a man that once roamed this earth
Who provided us a way to be free
Free from the shackles of darkness and sin
And created a light for all to see
This very same man carved a path for us
And holds out His hand for us to take
If we just reach out and take that hand
He’ll pour us a foundation that’s not easy to shake
If we let this man come into our hearts
Our problems won’t just melt away
But He’ll build us a shelter that is full of grace
And walk with us every step of the way
His mercy and grace seem to never end
No matter how many times we fail
And He welcomes us back with open arms
For His unimaginable love will prevail
He is our gateway to the Almighty Father
Without Him we would be doomed
But it is through Him that our sins are forgiven
Through Him our hearts are consumed
Love and forgiveness are what He provides
Jesus Christ is His glorious name
No longer does sin have control of us
No longer must we live in shame
For Jesus came and washed us clean
By taking the punishment that we deserve
And all He asks is that we take His hand
                                            Then our place by His side will be forever reserved.
