Man Of God Lyrics
Sometimes I'm a liar sometimes I'm a fake
sometimes I'm a hypocrite that everybody hates
sometimes I'm a poet sometimes I'm a preacher
sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher
But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim
Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God
Sometimes I don't feel good
it's hard to start the day
it's hard to climb the obstacles
that sometimes come my way
if I make it, I'm a good man
am I a bad man if I fail?
I know I'm never good enough
so I let grace prevail
But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim
Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God I'm ready for the night
sometimes I'm a hypocrite that everybody hates
sometimes I'm a poet sometimes I'm a preacher
sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God
it's hard to start the day
it's hard to climb the obstacles
that sometimes come my way
if I make it, I'm a good man
am I a bad man if I fail?
I know I'm never good enough
so I let grace prevail
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God I'm ready for the night

This is one of my favorite songs on the "Bloom" CD, because it's one I can really relate to. It talks about how a lot of the time he lives the way that he, as a Christian, should be living, but like everyone, messes up some times, or most of the time. Still, in spite of his failures and short-comings, God, through His grace, has stuck with him through it all, continually "fixing his aim," and praise be to Him for that.
