Psalm 42:8


Sometimes when I wake up in the mornings I am singing. I know it might sound a little odd, but it is like my heart has been full force belting out all night. I thought I would share what was flowing last night:

I'm the man with all I've ever wanted
All the toys and playing games
I am the one who pours your coffee,
corner booth each Saturday
I am your daughter's favorite teacher
I'm the leader of the band
I sit behind you in the bleachers
I am every man

I'm the coach of every winning team
and still a loser in my mind
I am the soldier in the airport
facing giants one more time
I am the woman shamed and haunted
by the cry of unborn life
I'm every broken man,
nervous child, lonely wife

Is there hope for every man
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
Is there hope for every man
Is there love that never dies
Is there peace in troubled times
Someone help me understand
Is there hope for every man

Seems there's just so many roads to travel,
it's hard to tell where they will lead
My life is scarred and my dreams unraveled
Now I'm scared to take a leap
If I could find someone to follow
who knows my pain and feels the weight
The uncertainty of my tomorrow,
the guilt and pain of yesterday

Is there hope for every man
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
Is there hope for every man
Is there love that never dies
Is there peace in troubled times
Someone help me understand
Is there hope for every man

There is hope for every man
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
There is hope for every man
There is love that never dies
There is peace in troubled times
Will we help them understand?
Jesus is hope for every man

Here is a video to accompany for those visuals out there: "Every Man"

I picked this video because I love the picture of the slummed down against a wall person and on the wall there is graffiti that says I was here and then below it another I was too. Jesus.

Psalm 42:8
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.
