verse 1 He was awake before the sun with his Bible opened up Seeking truth with every single page he turned Anyone could see my daddy lived what he believed With a gentle heart and passion for Jesus’ blood I know we had our times we disagreed But the longer I live it’s clear to me I want to be that man Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father’s hand I want to be that man verse 2 Society would say there’s a new ideal today Not what you give, it’s more about what you can get But I want to live a life that’s marked by sacrifice Like the Savior who died to show us all the way So I’ll take up my cross and trace His steps Surrendering is how I serve Him best I want to be that man Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father’s hand I want to be that man Bridge: Just like Peter, Paul, and all the saints of days gone by Let me show that kind of faith to those who come behind I want to be that man Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father’s hand I want to be that man I’ll lead my family as I hold the Father’s hand I want to be that man
