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, oh...

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's 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
Yeah, yeah

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
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

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
