I used to think I could be silent An hourglass losing it's sand Satisfied only to live for the moment at hand I had a design for my future But I laid it aside for your path You are the God of my everyday And I am your everyday man And your everyday man Does all he can To be an open book A looking glass to catch the Saviour's glow And your everyday man Holds out his hand to those who've never looked Into the blood Where true salvation flows Into the arms of forgiveness As fast as I could I ran Hoping that maybe the promise you made me would stand But the more that I gave to that promise The more I can't understand Your truth is sufficient for everyday And I am your everyday man And your everyday man Does all he can To be an open book A looking glass to catch the Saviour's glow And your everyday man Holds out his hand to those who've never looked Into the blood Where true salvation flows I'm walking a new street I dare not walk alone I pray that someway I'll bring someone along Everyday man that's what I am I'm just an open book A looking glass to catch the Saviour's glow I'm your everyday man Hold out my hand to those who've never looked Into the blood Where true salvation flows Into the blood Where true salvation flows
