Bob Carlisle - Man Of His Word lyrics

In the final days of summer, 1944 With just a preacher and a witness And a humble band of gold They set out to find the future Not a penny to their name Still with all the unknown danger She knew her heart was safe 'Cause He was a rock He was the one that she ran to And when He said the word "forever" She knew that it was true He wasn't a saint But He was saint enough for her He was a man, a man of His word In the final days of summer, 1964 Found a family undivided Divided on the war Turning son against his elder Debating wrong and right He was the image of his father Though they would not see eye to eye Still He was a rock He was the one the boy ran to Cause' when He said the words "I love you" He knew that it was true And even in the worst of storms There was an anchor in His world He was a man, a man of His word Clutching a strong belief in the bible Through all the sweetness in his life And the bitterness of war He knew what God had made him for In the final days of summer, 1994 Surrounded by his family And the presence of the Lord He set out to find his future The one he'd always known He didn't want to leave his family But he knew deep in his soul The Lord had called him home 'Cause He was the rock He was the one the man ran to And when He said the words "forever" He knew that it was true He wasn't a saint He is the one the saints bow to Receiving a man, a man of His word He was the one that I ran to 'Cause when He says the word "forever" I know His word is true He isn't a saint He is the one the saints bow to Come to the man, the man of His word
