[Verse 1] I ain’t proud of every road I chose Every bridge I burned Every lie I told Got chapters in my life I wish I could rewrite Some nights I still carry What I should’ve let go I made mistakes More than I can count Said things in anger I wish I could take back Spent years tryna be somebody I was not Trying to fill a hole Only You could reach If the story ends before I get to say Everything I should’ve said along the way ⸻ [Chorus] Jesus, remember the man I was Not the worst things that I’ve done Not the nights I lost my way But the nights I turned to You and prayed Remember the love I gave Remember the times I stayed When life was hard and hope was gone And I still carried on If someday all that’s left Are pictures, words, and dust Jesus, remember the man I was ⸻ [Verse 2] I spent too much time Thinking life was long Putting off forgiveness Walking past open doors Thought strength meant silence Thought pain meant hide Till I learned the heaviest burdens Grow inside Now I see people different Everybody’s fighting something Everybody got a hurt They carry without saying nothing So if I leave one thing When my days are through Let it be kindness And the truth ⸻ [Chorus] Jesus, remember the man I was Not the worst things that I’ve done Not the nights I lost my way But the nights I turned to You and prayed Remember the love I gave Remember the times I stayed When life was hard and hope was gone And I still carried on If someday all that’s left Are pictures, words, and dust Jesus, remember the man I was ⸻ [Verse 3] I spent some years angry Blaming everyone but me Looking for answers In places I shouldn’t be Thought I could outrun Everything I’d done Till I learned forgiveness Starts with someone It starts with me Now I see mercy Different than before Grace was standing there Outside that door So if You ask me Who I tried to be I hope You see the man You were making in me ⸻ [Final Chorus] Jesus, remember the man I was Not the worst things that I’ve done Not the nights I lost my way But the nights I turned to You and prayed Remember the love I gave Remember the times I stayed When life was hard and hope was gone And I still carried on If someday all that’s left Are pictures, words, and dust Jesus, remember the man I was The one You never gave up on
