"Man I Was Made to Be" lyrics

My tendencies are selfish
My fallback is pride
I think about my own ambition
About ninety percent of the time
When I gave you a diamond I thought all I was changing was your name
But the further down the road we go
I realized it changed everything

But that's why Jesus says we're his bride
'Cause he loved us enough to lay down his whole life
And baby I know it'll take some time
But that's what I want to do for you
'Cause you're an angel sent from the sky
And I know I got a long way to go till I ain't
Hard to love but I love how you see
Not the man I am but the man
That I was made to be

'Cause your tendencies are goodness
Keep forgiveness in your eyes
And over and over I'm amazed by the heart I get to call mine
I meant it when I said forever and I got lucky that you said it to me
So no matter where it goes
Through the highs and the lows
Yours is who I choose to be

'Cause that's why Jesus says we're his bride
'Cause he loved us enough to lay down his whole life
And baby I know it'll take some time
But that's what I want to do for you
'Cause you're an angel sent from the sky
And I know I got a long way to go till I ain't
Hard to love but I love how you see
Not the man I am but the man
That I was made to be

One day when I reach heaven
And I meet him face to face
He'll tell me all my sins are forgiven
By the blood by the cross I'll be at those gates
I can't wait to see your smile
When you finally get to see
Yeah, that same man
That you always saw in me

'Cause that's why Jesus says we're his bride
Loved us enough to lay down his whole life
And baby I know it'll take some time
But that's what I want to do for you
'Cause you're an angel sent from the sky
And I know I got a long way to go till I ain't
Hard to love but I love how you see
Not the man I am but the man
That I was made to be
That I was made to be
