"This Man Is Me" lyrics

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

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

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

This man is pleading out loud
Heavy was the head that wore the crown
This man is me
This man was me

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

This man is me, this man was me
This man is me, this man was me

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
