[Verse 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, it 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
[Chorus]
Oh-ooh, Jesus
You're a better man than me
You're the only one who ever could
Show me who I'm meant to be
[Verse 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
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus
You're a better man than me, yeah
You're the only one who ever could
Show me who I'm meant to be
Jesus
You're a better man than me
You're the only one who ever could
Show me who I'm meant to be
Oh-oh, yeah
[Bridge]
I'm leaning on, mm
On the Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on, mm
On the Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on, hey
On the Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on, [?]
The Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on, oh
On the Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on, oh yeah
The Everlasting Arms
I'm leaning on
On the Everlasting Arms
Oh-oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Jesus
You're a better man than me
Oh-ooh, Jesus
You're a better man than me
You're the only one who ever could
Show me who I'm meant to be, yeah
[Outro]
You're the only one who ever could
Show me who I'm meant to be
