He Is Not Just a Man
Fred Hammond · Speak Those Things [2002]
Verse 1:
The greatest gift to man from the Father
Would change us all in ways we've never seen
Yet his first moments were in a manger
And soon every living thing would call him King, yes they would
Though we didn't know it then we would soon understand
That his life would reveal God's perfect plan
Chorus:
He is not just a man(He is God)
He is not just a baby(He is King)
No He is not just the lamb
But the Lion of Judah, Savior and Ruler of all
Verse 2:
We've tried our very best to perceive him
Sometimes I think it was beyond our reach
Well I guess that's why He asked us to receive him
With a chidlike heart only believe
And I hear him ask again
Who do men say that I am
And I feel the need to make the whole world see
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Vamp:
But the Lion of Judah, Savior and Ruler of all(Repeat 3x)
He is not just a man
The greatest gift to man from the Father
Would change us all in ways we've never seen
Yet his first moments were in a manger
And soon every living thing would call him King, yes they would
Though we didn't know it then we would soon understand
That his life would reveal God's perfect plan
Chorus:
He is not just a man(He is God)
He is not just a baby(He is King)
No He is not just the lamb
But the Lion of Judah, Savior and Ruler of all
Verse 2:
We've tried our very best to perceive him
Sometimes I think it was beyond our reach
Well I guess that's why He asked us to receive him
With a chidlike heart only believe
And I hear him ask again
Who do men say that I am
And I feel the need to make the whole world see
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
Vamp:
But the Lion of Judah, Savior and Ruler of all(Repeat 3x)
He is not just a man
He Is Not Just a Man
