God is a Man

Verse 1

They dressed their longing up in metaphor,

Painted heaven in their favorite shade,

But a wish is not a witness,

And desire doesn’t make a god remade.

Before the mountains learned to tremble,

Before the galaxies began,

The Ancient One spoke thunder,

And revealed Himself as Father to man.

Pre-Chorus

Not born of our imagining,

Not shaped by human hands

Truth stands where fables shatter,

And love wears an older name than sand.

Chorus

God is a Man

Not fashioned out of culture, but the Word made flesh.

God is a Man

The Son who walked among us with a human breath.

Every lie that crowns our longing falls away when He stands.

He’s the Holy One, the Begotten Son,

God is a Man.

Verse 2

He’s not the soft reflection

Of a world that shifts like tides,

Not a silhouette of comfort

Bent to fit our wounded pride.

He’s the Lion born in Bethlehem,

The Carpenter with nail-scarred hands,

Not a goddess of emotion,

But the Lord whose justice forever stands.

Pre-Chorus

Creation knows His footstep,

The grave obeyed His command

Not myth, not mirror, but Messiah,

The Christ, our God and Man.

Chorus

God is a Man

The radiance of glory with a servant’s heart.

God is a Man

The Lamb who bore our judgment and tore death apart.

Every throne we build collapses when the true King stands.

He’s the First and Last, the perfect Son,

God is a Man.

Man

Bridge

Call Him Father, call Him Savior,

Call Him Lord of all that is.

Not the echo of our yearning,

But the One who ever lives.

Let the nations trade illusions,

Let the shadows rise and fade

The Eternal stepped into time,

And the truth cannot be remade.

Chorus

God is a Man

He came with fire and mercy in His eyes of grace.

God is a Man

The Only One who carries all the human race.

Let a thousand lesser stories fall like castles in sand.

Every knee will bow, every heart will know:

God is a Man.
