I Want To Be That Man

G                                    Em
He was awake before the sun with his Bible opened up
C                               D
Seeking truth with every single page he turned
G                         Em
Anyone could see my daddy lived what he believed
       C                           D
With a gentle heart a passion for Jesus burned
  Em                                C
I know we had our times we disagreed
        Em                          D
But the longer I live it's clear to me

[Chorus]
            G        D
I want to be that man
     Em                                    C
Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands
     G          D                Em           C
Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father's hand
D                  G
I want to be that man

[Verse 2]
G                          Em
Society would say there's a new ideal today
     C                                  D
Not what you give, it's more about what you can get
      G                          Em
But I want to live a life that's marked by sacrifice
         C                          D
Like the Savior who died to show us all the way
        Em                              C
So I'll take up my cross and trace His steps
 Em                              D
Surrendering is how I'll serve Him best

[Chorus]
            G        D
I want to be that man
     Em                                    C
Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands
     G          D                Em           C
Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father's hand
D                 G
I want to be that man

[Bridge]
          C                                         D
Just like Peter, Paul, and all the saints of days gone by
        C                                         D
Let me show that kind of faith to those who come behind

[Chorus]
           A       E
I want to be that man
    F#m                                             D
Who loves the Lord with all his heart just like the Word commands
    A         E                  F#m         D
Who takes a stand and leads his family as he holds the Father's hand
   E               A
I want to be that man

[Outro]
              F#m         D
I'll lead my family as I hold the Father's hand
   E               A
I want to be that man
