Only a Man by Jonny Lang

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 I began to understand
I was only a man

I grew up singing songs in church
With questions in my mind
And 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 upstream 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
And 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

NewReleaseTuesday Exclusive Interview with Jonny Lang

A backsliding christian artiste that turns over.
Check out his new album "Turn Around" which is a gospel/blues sorta thing. It's not the traditional blues, but it's still quite bluesy, pretty nice. The song above spoke a lot, especially about his own testimony. The music is not bad. I think Haylie is his wife if I'm not wrong...or maybe she's someone else. LOL...

Somehow I feel that somehow Jonny Lang managed to successfully put in the emotions of a christian who grew up in church from young, but never really understood God until something happens and the power of God is finally felt to the extreme that there's no question that of the existence of God.
I've never understood who God is until he showed me his great surprise.

By the way, check out this post I've found.
Praise, Worship & Redemption
I think it speaks something...
