The Kind of Man

If I speak in words like angels

Or climb the highest peak

Fight for fame, build my name

So the world remembers me

It'll fade like stars at morning

A whisper in a crowd

It will all dissolve to nothing

If that's what my life's about

So I pray

I pray

Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife

Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right

Who's strong enough to fight a war by falling to his knees

'Cause that's the kind of man

That's the kind of man I wanna be

Slow to speak and quick to listen

Doesn't fear and doesn't boast

Full of faith, full of joy

Always holding on to hope

Faithful through the darkness

Even when the night is long

Knowing in my weakness

Is where you show you're strong

'Cause Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife

Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right

Who's strong enough to fight a war by fallin' to his knees

'Cause that's the kind of man

That's the kind of man I wanna be

That's the kind of man I wanna be

When my life is over

And I cross the crystal sea

Let the ones I leave behind say

They saw You in me

Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife

(Who loves his kids and wife)

Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right

(Lord, make me a man, stands for what is)

Who's strong enough to fight a war by falling to his knees (Yeah)

'Cause that's the kind of man

That's the kind of man I wanna be

That's the kind of man I wanna be
