I Want To Be That Man lyrics

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
Where 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 hе holds the Father's hand
I want to be that man

Sociеty 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

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
Yeah, yeah
