A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

by Stan C. Countz


VERSE 1
Keep using the same lame excuses
Can’t seem to break these chains
That just goes to show you
I haven’t learned a thing

PRE-CHORUS
So gimme your ears that I might hear
Gimme your eyes that I might see
Gimme your mind so I won’t fear
Gimme your heart that I might be
Able to make a change
Able make a difference
To finally break these chains
Bring healing and deliverance
To a world that’s gone insane

CHORUS
I wanna be a man of valor
And make a brand new start
A man of prayer and power
A man after God’s own heart

PRE-CHORUS
So gimme your ears that I might hear
Gimme your eyes that I might see
Gimme your mind so I won’t fear
Gimme your heart that I might be
Able to make a change
And to make a difference
To finally break these chains
Bring healing and forgiveness
To a world that’s gone insane

CHORUS
I wanna be a man of valor
Though my life has blown apart
A man of prayer and power
A man after God’s own heart (2x)

BRIDGE
I’m not a man of steel
I’m not a man of iron
But I know how it feels (to hear)
The sound of that siren
And to feel so lost and helpless
And not to have a clue
And to wonder why it happened
Wishin’ there was somethin’ I could do

EXTENDED PRE-CHORUS
So gimme your eyes that I might see
Through the lies that confound me
Gimme your ears that I might hear
The cries of the lost all around me
Gimme your heart that I might feel
The compassion that surrounds me
Gimme your mind that I might find
The wisdom that finally found me

CHORUS
I wanna be a man of valor
Not just whistlin’ in the dark
A man of prayer and power
A man after God’s own heart

OUTRO
I may not be a man of steel
My life’s been blown apart
I wanna live a life that’s real
I wanna make a brand new start

But I wanna know how it feels
To be a man after God’s own heart
A man after God’s own heart
A man after God’s own heart
