Man of God

I've walked with the reckless
No boundaries, no rules
Run with the rebels
Danced with the fools
Raised my voice with the scornful
Laughed with the proud
Played the man of macho
Of muscle and steel
Bulletproof heart
Never touch, never feel
Lived each day with my guard up
No tears allowed

I'm not here for charades of glory
I won't defend what I've been
But these chapters of my life story
Have finally reached an end

'Cause when it all is said and done
Hey, I wanna be a man of God
Because I've felt the perfect truth
Of all a man should be
Yeah, a man of God

Guess I'm still a rebel
With a different cause
To be a warrior in His armor of love
The spirit moving within me
Is stronger than pride
It's a holy passion
For the Lord that I serve
To feel His power
Burn in my every nerve
To be a tough kind of tender
No tears denied

Driving messes and hiding man
Oh, but short supply
I, I can step out and take my stand
Where I wanna live or die

'Cause when it all is said and done
Hey, I wanna be a man of God
Because I've felt the perfect truth
Of all a man should be
And when the world comes walkin' by
I want them to see a man of God
The living proof of a living Lord
Living in me

To be a man, after God's own heart
To stand where He needs me
A sign of life where the dying are
Wherever He leads me now

Driving messes and hiding man
Oh, but short supply
I, I can step out and take my stand
Where I wanna live or die

'Cause when it all is said and done
Hey, I wanna be a man of God
Because I've felt the perfect truth
Of all a man should be
And when the world comes walkin' by
I want them to see a man of God
The living proof of a living Lord
Is living in me

Oh, I want them to see a man of God
Oh, I want them to see a man of God
The living proof of a living Lord
Ooh, yeah, living in me...
