Week 24 - Michael Morrow - The Perfect Man

Here's another one take recording, sat at the piano after 11 and a half hours at church on Sunday. I'm taking much longer to get a song started. I'm pretty sure that's because I've become bored with writing songs just because of the good discipline of writing, and I'm searching for the thing I absolutely need to say. I cried this week singing 'The man himself' by Gang of Youths. And I underlined lots of quotes in 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis. I had a long conversations with friends about how hard temptation is, and what it must have been like for Jesus to be tempted like us. I think I’ve got it figured What it means to be a man A man can keep a steady course And walk into the wind A boy will run whichever way The wind would have him go But a man can face the wind and still say No And I will never be the perfect man I don’t want my life to end up Lost upon the way I’ll lean into the wind And I will keep on walking Just another day within my Father’s plan Just another day within my Father’s plan They say there was a day The Son of God became a man The day he stood before the court And the accusations came His heart beat like a wild horse Makes thunder as it runs But he kept his voice as silent as a lamb He showed them how to be a perfect man They say that he became a man At dinner when her tears Her hands, her hair, were on his feet Her perfume in the air I’m sure he felt the rush of blood The pulsing in his veins The need to take her body in his hands He learnt just what it feels like to be a man 2026 Copyright All rights reserved
