I Do Not Know the Man
I had hopes so high
If Messiah dies,
Well then so will i
But I'm bold and weak
Charge and then retreat
I proclaimed Him--
How could I now deny?
Chorus:
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
You can forgive me
But will You?
I do not know the Man
Can this really be happening?
What has become of His
Glorious plan?
Does it all tumble down?
Does His Kingdom have feet of clay
What did He say?
Is He crumbling now?
Or am I?
I had hopes so high
If Messiah dies,
Well then so will i
But I'm bold and weak
Charge and then retreat
I proclaimed Him--
How could I now deny?
Chorus:
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
You can forgive me
But will You?
I do not know the man
I thought I was the leader--
Look at Peter!
But instead I'm unstable as sand
If I'm not at His side in this
Hour of trial, my denial
Says I am a worm, not a man
Have mercy!
Where does all this go?
Can there still be hope
When He's brought so low?
If He's really God,
Can they spill His blood?
Oh, this morning feels like ages ago...
CHORUS
