Song of the Day- Only a Man by Jonny Lang

Do you all remember Jonny Lang? He was a child prodigy that came out around the same time as Hanson (so, if you are my age, late middle school). Jonny Lang is a all-star guitar player. He plays the Blues, so my mom always enjoyed him.

Anyway, Jonny recently became a Christian and has released an awesome album entitled, "Turn Around." Critics call is Gospel, I just call A-mazing!!! Every song is filled with truth and it has been on repeat for a while now.

My favorite song is "Only a Man" (Track 8 I believe). Here are the lyrics:

I used to live my life in fear
Was worried all the time
From waking up to laying down
I had no peace of mind
The world became a darkened place
A struggle without end
Although bitter times those were
The days that I had began to understand
I was only a man

I grew up singing songs in church
With questions in my mind
Then turned my back and ran away
From God who gave me life
Then one night his presence fell
I wept and shook and then
I fell down and cried, Dear Jesus, rescue me again
I understand I am only a man

And He said, What will it be now?
Will you choose me or keep swimming up stream now?
I've been inside your head hearing you scream out.
Well here I am, just take my hand and I'll take out
All of the pain and all of the fear
All of the fear

I'll give you my burdens (I'll give you peace)
All of my desires (I'll give you what you need)
Oh, what about these chains, Lord? (I'll set you free)
But they're so heavy (Lay them at my feet)
I'll lay them at your feet

Just promise you won't leave (I'll never leave)
So where do I go from here, Lord? (Just follow me)(Just follow me)
I'll follow you (Just follow me)
wherever you lead
Wherever you lead, wherever you lead

Lyrics are good, huh? Now go and listen to it on iTunes... and purchase it. ;-).
