Lyrics
I MET A MAN (P. Zolli)
I met a man Who seemed to know; He asked me if Id like to go
to places that Id never been - I met Him upon a hill
I met a man upon a hill Who told me all I have or will
He spoke to me and called me, friend
and He is speaking still - oh, yes, He is speaking still
was it maybe just a bad dream or a figment of my mind?
if it was, why does it seem like what Ive always hoped to find?
I met a man upon the road Who told me of my heavy load
which suddenly became so light - He lent to me His strength
I met a man Who had such strength it stretched beyond the breadth and length
of every day and every night
He spoke and called me, friend - oh, yes, He spoke to me again
He said, this burden that you carry, it is yours, but I will help
because you cannot carry it, Ill take it on Myself
I met a man Who spoke to me of time and of eternity
and of a Father far above I couldnt hope to see
I met a man I couldnt see because He was too big for me to see
but I could feel His love - He said it was enough - yes, I knew it was enough
to know He was the truth and follow Him upon that narrow way
to hope for what I couldnt see and join with Him one day
I met a man upon a cross Who, for my gain, endured such loss
as never has been seen by men - He died to set me free
I met a man Who died for me that I might with His Father be
He died but then He rose again - He died to set us free
but rose again that we might see that He is eternity
yes, He is eternity
