I AM JUST A MAN

I am just a man
With hopes and dreams
To be the best
He can e’er be

I am just a man
I laugh and cry
For I feel joy
Yes, I feel pain

I am just a man
With faults and flaws
Please forgive me,
When I hurt you

I am just a man
With fears and cares
I get weary,
I get afraid

‘I am just a man’
Is no excuse
To not excel
Or be the best

I am just a man
So I’ll trust God
To see me through
Lest I wander…
