G C I want to follow in daddy's footsteps D7 G Let me be the man he wanted me to be C I want to follow the path of righteousness D7 G Remembering all the things he told to me
D7 He said son love thy neighbor G And trust in Him above A7 Think not of hate but keep within D7 A heart that's filled with love
G C I want to follow in daddy's footsteps D7 G Let me be the man my daddy used to be
Recitation: C Yes Jesus let me follow in the footsteps of my dad D7 G Cause 'twas him that often told me of you on your throne of gold C And he told me of how You searched the mountain D7 G For the little lamb that went astray D7 G And brought him back and tucked him so safely in the fold
C And he told me how they hung You on the cold and bitter cross D7 G And his story went on how they placed the crown upon your head C And he told me how they pierced your tender side O Son of God D7 G And left you there to hang until you were dead
C That's why I want to follow in the footsteps of my daddy now D7 G Because I want to be the man that he wanted me to be C And then some day just as he told me before he left us and went away D7 G My loving daddy with my Jesus I shall see
Sung: D7 G D7 G So I'll trust in the Father that watches from above A7 D7 To take good care of daddy and shower him with precious love G C I want to follow in daddy's footsteps D7 G Let me be the man that daddy used to be.
