verse 1 

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 and passion for Jesus’ blood 
  Em                                C 
I know we had our times we disagreed 
        Em                          D  
But the longer I live it’s clear to me

            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 
Dm        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 serve Him best

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 
Dm        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
