A Man, the Man

A Man, The Man Along came they Along came the years Ingathering together Observing my fears Their goal, carry me away But behold, his hand nears I slip, I fall Engulfed by tears Lo, upon the great waters Stands a man Said man, of Bethlehem Though I toiled Battled the oar The raging sea The tempest roar My only find How I was so wrong For for me the current Far too strong But Lo, He calms me The storm and the sea This man, said man Said from Bethlehem From years of old Of him I been told The one from Galilee Only now, my faith bolds My heart sold For how he walks with me In distasterous brink No more a fearful thought For how shall I fear a wind My God has taught I behold not so far A refuge, safe land There be the very ground On which my saviour stands Behold the man Said man from Bethlehem From years of old Of him I been told Who walked in Galilee Only now, my heart is sold For how I see Jesus my Lord Walks the road with me
