Better Man

Verse 1
They say the measure of a man, is that he’s strong and never weak
But I couldn’t break the chains I wore, it took a better man than me
They say never let ’em see you cry, you gotta hide your troubles deep
To show me how to lay them down, it took a better man than me

Chorus
Oh-ooh, Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only one who ever could
Show me who I’m meant to be

Verse 2
They say pride comes before the fall, I know it all too easy
I couldn’t make it on my own, it took a better man than me
They say a man must strive and work hard, hard to earn his keep
But there’s only One who provides, and He’s a better man than me

Chorus
Oh, Jesus
You’re a better man than me, yeah
You’re the only one who ever could
Show me who I’m meant to be
Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only one who ever could
Show me who I’m meant to be
Oh-oh, yeah

You’re a better man than me
Oh-ooh, Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only one who ever could
Show me who I’m meant to be, yeah

Outro
You’re the only one who ever could
Show me who I’m meant to be
