MAN TO MAN

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

Holy heart in holy heaven

Shaped this house of clay

Formed this soul—a mirror image

To carry on His name

 

Earthly heart with earthly treasure

Gone and lost its way

Wooed by sight’s deceiving measure

Followed long in vain

 

It’s change I’m seeking

To wake from sleeping

And stage a meeting

Till our hearts are beating as one

 

Reach me, find me

Lift and light me

Groom me, guide me

Man to man

Work me, try me

Gold refine me

Transform who I am

From man to Man

 

To try these shoes before I wore them

And know they’re prone to stray

To dive beneath these fatal waters

And claim the captive prey

 

Today I’m pleading

For favor and healing

So chains won’t keep me

From our hearts beating as one

 

Reach me, find me

Lift and light me

Groom me, guide me

Man to man

Work me, try me

Gold refine me

Transform who I am

From man to Man

 

Like Father, like Son

Why I was begun

Take me to the high road

And point me to the perfect day to come

 

Finish what love began

Change me from man to Man
