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, a passion for Jesus' burn I know we had our times, we disagreed But the longer I live, it's clear to me I wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna be that man I'll lead my family as I hold the Father's hand I wanna be that man, yeah! Yeah!
