Every Man

Casting Crowns put out a song I'm guessing a year or two ago, and it has now become my husband "Theme Song" Tony starts his day listening to this song and ends his day listening to this song. If you haven't heard the words I have "cut and pasted" them below. But....oh you already know I have SO much more to say....

It wasn't that long ago that Tony became a Christian and things before that...well...........weren't the easiest, we'll just leave it at that.

Then one day Tony and I took a Dare that changed our lives, our marrage, and our friendship. I can tell you with God and really REALLY great friends we have made it out of the deepest pit of our lives so far.

Then this song came into Tony's life, he says it was the song that made him realize what was really going on, and that there was a hope out there for every man, even him.

I must say that Tony....is not like every man, he is the man God made for me, he is the man I moved 1300miles from home for, he is the father to our wonderful children, and tonight he was the man that packed my lunch for work cooked dinner for the kids, and then kissed me good bye.

Every Man
I'm the man with all I've 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 am 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?
It seems there's just so many roads to travel
It's hard to tell where they will lead
My life is scarred, my dreams unravelled
Now I am scared to take the lead
If I could find someone to follow
Who knows my pain and feels the way
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
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
