I Met A Man

(专辑： Jesse Labelle, Part 1 - 2021)

I met a man
By the mission parking lot
He didn't ask me for directions
But he told me he'd been lost
Somewhere between
The bottle and the pills
With an empty hungry feeling
That the whiskey couldn't kill

H told me he'd found something
In his deepest darkest hour
Strong enough to make a blind man see
He said I was gone to hell in a solitary cell
No one there but a sinners prayer and me
And I met a man

He said I've been down
Every wrong road I could find
Squandered all my blessings
And wasted all my time
But on that night
When I finally got down on my knees
Even though I couldn't see him
I could feel him there with me

I met a man who told me that my sins had been forgiven
A man who I believe once died and now is risen
I thought I'd reached the end
But I'd been born again
When I needed a reason to keep living

I met a man
I believe is the son of the father
A man who healed the lame
And even walked own water

He said God Bless you
And as I watched him walk away
I felt something in my spirit might never be the same
And when I got home she asked me how my day had gone
And I told her just this morning everything was going wrong
But walking to my car
I had a change of heart
When I met a man
