  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

And trust in Him above

Think not of hate but keep within

A heart that's filled with love

I want to follow in daddy's footsteps

Let me be the man my daddy used to be
[Recitation]
                               C
Yes Jesus let me follow in the footsteps of my dad

                           D7
Cause 'twas him that often told me of you on your throne of gold

       G
And he told me of how You searched the mountain

        D7                     G
For the little lamb that went astray

                                       D7            C
And brought him back and tucked him so safely in the fold

                                  D7
And he told me how they hung You on the cold and bitter cross

        G                                                      D7
And his story went on how they placed the crown upon your head

                                                   G
And he told me how they pierced your tender side O Son of God

                                 A7
And left you there to hang until you were dead

                     D7
That's why I want to follow in the footsteps of my daddy now

        G
Because I want to be the man that he wanted me to be

    C                                               D7
And then some day just as he told me before he left us and went away

                              G
My loving daddy with my Jesus I shall see
[Outro]
   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 use to be
