Music Monday: Audio Adrenaline- Man of God

Audio Adrenaline- the real one, not the Kevin Max fronted one these days-- was one of the bands I "grew up" on, as a young believer. They are one of the bands from the '90s that did not sound exactly like other bands. They were there to show us that Christians could "rock" as well.

One of the songs that sticks with me is Man of God. I usually think of this song when I realize just how far away from being a "great Christian" I am...usually after I have done or said something dumb. No, this doesn't mean I am constantly thinking of this song, but it pops in my head from time to time. The first verse into first chorus are the words that stick with me. Sometimes I'm a liar... Sometimes I'm a fake...Sometimes I'm a man of God...Then later...I know I'm never good enough, so I let grace prevail...

Take a few moments to listen to the song and consider the lyrics. Be broken. Be encouraged. Be built back up. DB

"Man Of God"

Sometimes I'm a liar sometimes I'm a fake

sometimes I'm a hypocrite that everybody hates

sometimes I'm a poet sometimes I'm a preacher

sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher

But I've never been left alone

in any problem that I've known

even though I'm to blame

there were times when things were dark

and I've been known to miss the mark

but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God

sometimes I'm alright

sometimes I lay down close my eyes

and pray to God

Sometimes I don't feel good

it's hard to start the day

it's hard to climb the obstacles

that sometimes come my way

if I make it, I'm a good man

am I a bad man if I fail?

I know I'm never good enough

so I let grace prevail

But I've never been left alone

in any problem that I've known

even though I'm to blame

there were times when things were dark

and I've been known to miss the mark

but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God

sometimes I'm alright

sometimes I lay down close my eyes

and pray to God I'm ready for the night
