The Man

There's a Man sitting off to the side,
Watching you as you walk by,
Wondering what happened to the thing that mattered the most.

He watches you as you go to the parties,
Watching you as you get high,
Wondering why you can't see these things won't satisfy.

The Man watches you as you walk off with that other guy,
Wishing that you would see,
No one else will fill that void inside of you.

He stands and walks over to you,
You're sitting there on the curb,
Crying and worried about what comes next.

You look up into the Face,
The Face that's been there all the time.
The Face, even if you didn't wish it, was with you all the way.

The Man reaches down to you,
Telling you He is there,
And always will be.

I will fill that void that rips at your heart,
I will satisfy the hunger that eats at your soul,
I will show you what it means to be loved.

Looking at your face,
His arms wrapped around you,
The Man shows you the peace you've always craved.
Shows you that trusting in Him, you will never have to worry again.

Trust that Man, that loving Man,
That gave His life for you.
The Man that loves you...
