I Want To Be That Man

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

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'll 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
