From the time time began You  Always chose a man  To lead the people safely by Your  Way  To be a voice and echo what You  Say  Like David or Abraham  Your Word is full of such men  And if the Bible had no closing  Page  And still was being written to  This day  CHORUS  I want to be a man that you  Would write about  Oh a thousand years from now  That they could read about  Your servant of choice in whom  You found favor  A man who heard Your voice  Generations away it is my prayer  That they will look back and say  Oh to have that kind of faith  And love  What a solid man of God he was
