Couplet 1

They say the measure of a man
Is that he’s strong
And never weak
But I couldn’t break
The chains I wore
Took a better man than me
They say never
Let em see you cry
You gotta hide your troubles deep
To show me how
To lay them down
It took a better man than me

Refrain

Oh Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only
One who ever could
Show me who
I’m meant to be

Couplet 2

They say pride comes
Before the fall
I know it all too easy
I couldn’t make
It on my own
It took a better man than me
They say a man must
Strive and work hard
Hard to earn his keep
But there’s only
One who provides
And He’s a better man than me

Refrain

Oh Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only
One who ever could
Show me who
I’m meant to be

Refrain

Jesus
You’re a better man than me
You’re the only
One who ever could
Show me who
I’m meant to be

On the everlasting arms
