The Man I Want to Be

God, I'm down here on my knees

'Cause it's the last place left to fall

Beggin' for another chance

If there's any chance at all

That You might still be listenin'

Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong

And I sure could use your help

'Cause from now on, I wanna be a good man

A do like I should man

I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see

I wanna be a strong man

And admit that I was wrong man

God, I'm asking You to come change me

Into the man I wanna be

If there's anyway for her and me to make another start

Could You see what you could do to put some love back in her heart?

'Cause it's gonna take a miracle

After all I've done to really make her see

That I want to be a stay man

I want to be a brave man

I want to be the kind of man she sees in her dreams

God, I wanna be Your man and I wanna be her man

God, I only hope she still believes in the man I wanna be

Well, I know this late at night that talk is cheap

But Lord, don't give up on me

I want to be a givin' man

I want to really start livin', man

God, I'm asking You to come change me

Into the man I wanna be
