Everyman

"Well he was out on a limb he was sitting in the shade 
He'd led a hundred men and lived alone among the graves 
He had a thousand questions and a million heartaches 
He was everyman he was everyman 

She was caught in a sin she knew the well was so deep 
She threw her last pennies in and poured oil upon His feet 
She touched the garment's hem she had only been asleep 
She was everyman she was everyman 

And the Lord looks down and He understands 
The world draws up it's lines 
But at the foot of the cross there's room for everyone 
And love that is not blind 
It can look at who we are and still see beyond 
The differences we find 
But with thorns in His brow and a spear in His side 
Nails in His hand He died for you and I 
For you and I and everyman 

He had nets to mend he gave his fish and his loaves 
He had to wash his hands and ran away without his robe 
He couldn't understand until on Damascus road 
He was everyman he was everyman 

She brought the world a lamb and took warning from a dream 
From an empty tomb she ran for her children she would weep 
In her womb a baby danced she'd been waiting for a King 
She was everyman she was everyman 

And the Lord looks down and He understands 
The world draws up it's lines 
But at the foot of the cross there's room for everyone 
And love that is not blind 
It can look at who we are and still see beyond 
The differences we find 
But with thorns in His brow and a spear in His side 
Nails in His hand He died for you and I 
For you and I and everyman 

The world draws up it's lines 
But at the foot of the cross there's room for everyone 
And love that is not blind 
It can look at who we are and still see beyone 
The differences we find 
But with thorns in His brow and a spear in His side 
Nails in His hand He died for you and I 
For you and I and everyman
