As A Man, I See Clearly

I want You to know
I'll make it crystal clear,
You need to hear the change in my voice,
The change in my speech
The tone of my words;
I spoke like a child, but now as a man,
Since You've been here.

I need You to know
How clear my mind has become,
I'm beginning to see my place in Your plan,
The urgency of the day
The importance of reaching out;
I understood like a child, but now as a man,
Since You have come.

I'd love for You to know
How my thoughts of You have changed,
I always assumed the world revolved around me,
Now my vision is clear
The clouds have disappeared;
I thought like a child, but now as a man,
Since Your sweet Grace.

I had my life planned, before You came along,
But I'm now a new man, once weak, but now strong,
You've given me a purpose, a reason to go on,
I'll praise You Father, with a smile, and a song.

You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
My Shield, my Strength, my Guiding Light,
The One Who gives me peace, in a storm-filled night,
My strong Defender, You fight all my fights.

Come quickly Lord Jesus, I ask you today,
This world is growing colder, and colder each day,
As a child, I was blind, I just wanted to stay and play,
But as a man, I see clearly, Lord please don't delay.
