That Man

I am that man,
Who's lived this life since it began..
I am that man, and I find it's true
That I'm responsible for what I do.

I am said man,
The sum of my choices to God's plan.
That manifests both lows and highs
Revealing there both truth and lies.

It is I indeed,
Rest assured that it is in fact me.
Who's path might sometimes take
The more scenic route by mistake.

I am that one,
With many battles both lost and won.
And I know that I will lose one more
That day I stand before Death's door.

I am the one,
Who has to face the things I've done.
I am the one who will one day stand
Before my Maker by holy demand.

So then I am he,
With no one else to blame but me!
I hope that when I make that stand
I'm not ashamed to be that man.
