I Am And A Man (Slow Tempo)

Lyrics and Music © Tim Lovell. All Rights Reserved.

I AM AND A MAN

I USE TO HELP OUT IN A MISSION

EVERY MORNING IN LA

WE FED ALL THE HOMELESS

AND THOSE WHO COULDN’T PAY

I NOTICED AN OLD MAN THERE

STOPPING BY EACH DAY

HE’D KNEEL AT THE ALTER

SOMETIMES I’D HEAR HIM PRAY

CHORUS:

I KNOW YOU’RE BESIDE ME LORD

THOUGH NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE

HELP ME TO SHOW OTHERS

SO THEY MAY BELIEVE

SHINE YOUR LIGHT AROUND ME

AND I’LL DO THE BEST I CAN

HELP THE WORLD SEE YOU THROUGH ME

I AM AND A MAN

I GOT TO KNOW THIS GENTLEMAN

WHO USE TO COME AND PRAY

HE LOVED TO TALK ABOUT THE LORD

AND LIVED A FEW MILES AWAY

ONE DAY HE STOPPED SHOWING UP

I WENT TO WHERE HE STAYED

THEY SAID HE’S IN THE NURSING HOME

I WENT TO WHERE HE LAID

NO ONE CAME TO SEE HIM

HE SAID HE DIDN’T CARE

JESUS WAS SETTING WITH HIM

HE POINTED TO AN EMPTY CHAIR

HE SAID HE NEVER WAS ALONE

THE LORD WAS ALWAYS THERE

WE’D END EVERY VISIT

WITH HIS SIMPLE PRAYER

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:

I WENT TO VISIT THE OTHER DAY

AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS

THE NURSE SAID IT’S THE STRANGEST THING

SHE’D SEEN IN ALL HER YEARS

SHE SAID MY FRIEND PASSED AWAY

HIS HEAD LAYING IN THE CHAIR

I KNEW HE WAS AT HOME NOW

WITH THE LORD HE LOVED SO DEAR

CHORUS:
