Consumed By Fire - Man That Made Me Lyrics

He was a preacher and He loved the sinner's heart He knew the perfect words To meet you right where you are With a smile and open arms I'm not saying he was perfect He would tell ya, far from it But he gave his life to something To something bigger than him I'm so thankful he did

When I look in the mirror, I'm starting to see A little more of him and a little less of me I hear the words that he taught me About hope, my faith and belief Now I'm just doing my best to take on Half that faith he stood on That legacy you wanna leave Now, I just wanna be Lord, I just wanna be Half of the man that made me

Sometimes he'd call me out He'd help me think about Those times I went too far And he'd say boy, watch your mouth Can almost hear dad now Saying I'm so proud

When I look in the mirror, I'm starting to see A little more of him and a little less of me I hear the words that he taught me About hope, my faith and belief Now I'm just doing my best to take on Half that faith he stood on That legacy you wanna leave Now, I just wanna be Lord, I just wanna be Half of the man that made me

Thought he was ten feet tall By the way he walked But now it's so clear to see It was all that time on his knees Now all I wanna be Lord, I just wanna be Half of that man that made me

Lord, I just wanna be

When I look in the mirror, I'm starting to see A little more of him and a little less of me Still hear the words that he taught me About hope, my faith and belief He'd say, boy you can't just talk it Gotta love so much you walk it That legacy you wanna leave Now, all I wanna be Lord, I just wanna be Half of the man that made me Half of the man that made me
