Lecrae, Kareem Manuel - Hero lyrics

There He goes, a Hero
The Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love
He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world

You've heard on the news
It's evil in every way
It's like we're waiting on Superman
To save the day
That's why when I was youngster
I used to pray that there could be a way God
That could walk among us
You see the darkened faces
And the hardened hearts
And see Brenda still putting babies
Up in the dumpster
But when I found out he came
Was perfect from a babe
Counting equality with God nothing
To be attained
He was living to save, forgiving our shame
Though we was deserving to blame
He preferred to give grace
But they still put Him
In chains, battered, beaten, and slain
Robes tattered and stained
Then he was thrown in the grave
Then he rose in three days
God, it's a good morning
'Cause the Son has been raised
And as the tears run down my
Face and fall to my feet
I heard a man crying out in the street
Talking 'bout you and me

There He goes, a hero
The savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love
He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world

There will be no mourning
There will be no crying
He wipes every tear and stops
Us all from dying from every tribe and every
Nation and every climate
A beautiful tapestry with God as the designer
Until I see His face
Amazing grace is my reminder
This is the power of the cross though
We're lost He can find us
He's the Good Shepherd, the Priest
The Cornerstone
The Greatest Servant and the King
Sitting on the throne
If I was told I could save
Every person on the globe
By giving up my son, I'd tell em no
But it pleased the Father to crush Him
He gave himself up with no discussion
Now we all stand blood covered
Redeemed us, He cleaned us
Purchased and then freed us
All this work but Lord, you don't need us
You saved me
So I don't want nothing if it's not in You
Your led your Son to the cross
Help me follow suit

There He goes, a Hero
The savior to the world (yeah)
Here He stands with scars in His hands
(Uh, huh) with love
He gave His life so we could be free
(I grew up hearing about a lot great men
But I only met only true Hero)
The Savior of the world
(Let me tell you about Him)

I grew up hearing about Martin, Malcom
And Mandela i can't tell 'em how they
Inspired this young fella
But something in my music drew me
I guess that's why they call 'em artists
Thought these people knew me
And I'm hoping for a new me
The present one is dying slow
These artists that I love
I love them 'cause they say they dyin' too
We dyin' to be more than what we are
We chasin we medicate our pain with
Fake sensations feeling vacant
Can anybody save us? can someone relieve us?
And in this time of pain I
Call upon the name of Jesus
He answered with His bleeding, His torture
His beatin'
He said 'I love you so much that
I'd die to give you freedom'
From then on I believed Him
I thought I didn't need Him
But all my other idols couldn't
Save me from my evil
A heathen, a zero, the worst of any people
Was rescued by the Lord of all
Jesus, my Hero

There He goes, a hero
The savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love
He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world
