I Met A Man

Today I met a man!

He said he could free me from Sin!

He said he could make my life over, and

That he'd clean me from within!

Today I met a man!

Today, I met a man!

Oh, what pleasures he offered!

The joys! What laughter!

He said forget the Hereafter!

Today I met a man!

Today! Two Men!

Two Joys! One Plan!

Calm and Elan!

Today, I met a man!

Today I must choose a man!

Choose sorrow and pain

For later Joy Unrestrained, or

Wild gaiety, and tomorrow

What will be, will be!

Today, I must choose a man!

I asked each one a question

But only one replied!

He said He chose to die for me

To spend Eternity with Him so

Today, I chose The Man!

All that glitters is not gold!

All that laugh often oft' hide bare souls!

I choose to take the sorrows now

For one day I will no more plow

For I'd have reached the furrows' end, and

I'd have planted and tended my ground

And at Harvest Celebration

I'll wear a Victor's Crown

Rewarded for my battle long

And Joys Everlasting will be my song!

Thank God! I chose The Son of Man!

Have you met a man?
