[Verse 1]
I hope they say of me
That I loved my children and wife
Most of All I hope they say
I love Jesus more than life
And when I'm laid to rest
Life's journey I have trod
I hope my children will say of me
Dad was a man of God
Dad was a man of God
[Chorus]
Oh to be a man of God
Nothing more and nothing less
It's not what I did or did not do
But why I did it and for who
I hope that they will remember me
Simply as a man of God
Simply as a man of God
[Verse 2]
I hope they say of me
My words were gentle and kind
Most of all I hope to leave
A life of true behind
So when I'm laid to rest
Life's journey I have trod
I hope they say of me
Here lies a man of God
Here lies a man of God
[Chorus]
Oh to be a man of God
Nothing more and nothing less
It's not what I did or did not do
But why I did it and for who
I hope that they will remember me
Simply as a man of God
Simply as a man of God
Simply as a man of God
