1 Man

Yo all there is, is 1 Man that walked with me down one lonely path
1 Man to help me face the music and the aftermath
1 Man for support comfort and guidance
In one hood full of misery and violence
Could only count on Christ
during the crisis
cause sometimes living life
can make you feel lifeless
a Father to the fatherless and strength to the weak
Providing for us even though we out in the street
Gave us our daily bread
while riding thru the valley of death
That’s something I’ll never forget
In our car with no destination
stomach growling out of starvation
man such a sad situation
barely getting by
seeing drive by’s
trying to make some sense outta this life
Saw my surroundings and prayed I would die
is what I’d call out to God but I’d hear no reply
In utter despair
God are You there!?!?
Do You see me down here, do You even care?
Our bed is our wheels
I missed some meals
This is my world God and its real
Bullets scream
Wounded scream
My early teens
Facing shattered dreams
Such a heavy burden to bear I had enough
So I came to lay it down at The Cross of….

Chorus:
All there is is 1 Man, (just call on His Name & He take away the pain)
All we got is 1 Man, (the 1 who carried the cross & took all of our shame)
All there is is 1 Man, (the 1 who was beaten and bruised and left to hang)
All we got is 1 Man, (changed my life forever now I'm not the same)

All there is, is 1 Man that walks with you thru the storm
1 Man shoulder for you to lean on
1 Man you can always count on
to be by your side when you weak cause He standing strong
Living in hell
Waking up to the smell
of coffee Maxwell
In a homeless cell
Feels like we facing this all by ourselves
No glimmer of hope
pops strung on dope
Seeing other homeless folk
Reach the end of they rope
Sleeping in boxes made of cardboard
only in God can I place all of my hope
In my distress I called out to The Lord
The Word says You stick closer than a brother
My God how much will we have to suffer?
This life full of problems, pain and stress
So I run to You God cause You my Fortress
Went from street slumming and stomach growling
to living at the corner of Dowling
for cot and chowin’
God don’t forsake and
God don’t leave
so I know that there’s something up the sleeve of…

Chorus:
All there is is 1 Man, (just call on His Name & He take away the pain)
All we got is 1 Man, (the 1 who carried the cross & took all of our shame)
All there is is 1 Man, (the 1 who was beaten and bruised and left to hang)
All we got is 1 Man, (changed my life forever now I'm not the same)

Only 1 Man was there thru all the nights I wept
nights I ain’t slept
and all the meals that got skipped
1 Man will leave behind sheep 99 of them
Cause of His Unconditional Love for just 1 of them
in the middle of the crisis
I found out exactly who Christ is
The shining light in the mist of total darkness
Came to understand exactly what The Cross is…
