God, I'm down here on my knees 'cause it's the last place left to fall
Beggin' for another chance if there's any chance at all
That You might still be listenin', lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong
And I sure could use Your help 'cause from now on

I wanna be a good man, I do like I should man
I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see
I wanna be a strong man and admit that I was wrong man
God, I'm asking You to come change me into the man I wanna be

If there's anyway for her and me to make another start
Could You see what You could do to put some love back in her heart?
'Cause it goin' to take a miracle after all I've done to really make her see

That I wanna be a straight man, I wanna be a brave man
I wanna be the kind of man she sees in her dreams
God, I wanna be Your man and I wanna be her man
God, I only hope she still believes in the man I wanna be

Well, I know this late at night the talk is cheap
But Lord, don't give up on me

I wanna be a givin' man, I wanna really start livin' man
God, I'm asking You to come change me into the man I wanna be

    My 23 year old son lost his battle with drug addiction 6/16/11. We said our final goodby yesterday. This was one of his favorite songs because he so desprately wanted to be a better man. Aaron, you were a Great Man & all who knew you would agree. You finally killed those demons with your passing and boy is Heaven Lucky to have you! Love, mom

    the only way to be a truly good man is to turn your life over to God - it's amazing how when God is at the center, everything else falls into place

    I love this song. I wish my husband could listen to it and get something out of it. He could be a good man. He is sometimes but he sure does hurt me enough to call it quits. After 28 years I really don't want to do that.
