I've been so confused haven't known what to do
I've been searching for answers but finding few
Lord, I don't quite understand
All the things they say it takes to be a man
Like work, self esteem, and standing strong
I can't help but think that there's something wrong
Me, I'll do the opposite, rather than standing strong
I think I'll kneel instead
For, no power I could get on my own
Could ever hold a candle to the power
That comes from Your throne

And you can show me how to be a man
You can show me how to take that stand
You can show me how to live my life
You can show me where to sacrifice
You can show me how to love my family
You can teach me to live in harmony
With my brothers and sisters in Christ
My, wouldn't that be nice

I've been looking back on this life of mine
I see how many times I've walked the line
Between what I want and what I need
And how most of the time it was my foolish greed
That kept me from serving you
But, Lord You've got to know that my heart is true
I really want to give you my life
Make everything in me a sacrifice
For, no power I could get on my own
Could ever hold a candle to the power
That comes from your throne

And you can show me how to be a man
You can show me how to take that stand
You can show me how to live my life
You can show me where to sacrifice
You can show me how to love my family
You can teach me to live in harmony
With my brothers and sisters in Christ
My, wouldn't that be nice
