When I was a young man, I lived fast and I live hard
Fought my demons, and they left way too may scars
On my heart, on my mind, and on my soul
And led me down a dark and dead end road
Till one night at rock bottom, I read about a man,
That even loved the ones that drove nails in His hand

It took a man like that, to make me open up my eye
Took a man like that, to make me want to change my life
Took a man like that, to save my soul and set me free
Took a man like that, to love the hell right out of me

Everyone that knew me, swore I never turn around
I was too far gone, oh but look at me now
I'm right on track, right here where I need to be,
That's what happens when you fall down on your knees
I know I'm not perfect, ya know there was only one,
And He died for me, the Fathers only son

It took a man like that, to make me open up my eye
Took a man like that, to make me want to change my life
Took a man like that, to save my soul and set me free
Took a man like that, to love the hell right out of me

Well, it scares me to think just where I'd be right
Without the best friend I have ever found

It took a man like that, to make me open up my eye
Took a man like that, to make me want to change my life
Took a man like that, to save my soul and set me free
Took a man like that, to love the hell right out of me

It took a man like that to love the hell right out of me
