[Verse 1]
DG
In the final days of Summer, 1944
DG
With just a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold
EmA
They set out to find the future, not a penny to their name
Em7A
Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her heart was safe
[Chorus 1]
DG
'Cause he was a rock, he was the one that she ran to
Bm7GEmA
And when he said the word "Forever" she knew that it was true
F#mDG
He wasn't a saint, but he was saint enough for her
Em7ABm7
He was a man, a man of his word
[Verse 2]
DG
In the final days of Summer, 1964
DG
Found a family undivided, divided on the war
EmA
Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and right
Em7A
He was the image of his father, though they would not see eye to eye
[Chorus 2]
DG
Still, he was a rock, he was the one the boy ran to
Bm7GEm7A
'Cause when he said the words "I Love You" he knew that it was true
DG
And even in the worst of storms, there was an anchor in his world
Em7AD
He was a man, a man of his word
[Bridge]
FGABm7C#m
Clutching a strong belief in the bible through all the sweetness in his life
DEF#mE
And the bitterness of war, he knew what God had made him for
[Verse 3]
DG
In the final days of summer, 1994
DG
Surrounded by his family, and the presence of the Lord
EmA
He set out to find his future, the one he'd always known
Em7A
He didn't want to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul
BmA
God had called him home
[Chorus 3]
DG
'Cause He was the rock, He was the one the man ran to
Bm7GEmA
And when He said the word "forever", he knew that it was true
F#mG
He wasn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
EmAD
Receiving a man, a man of his word
G
He was the one that I run to
Bm7GEmA
'Cause when he says the word "forever", I know his word is true
F#mDG
He isn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
Em7ABm7
Come to the Man, the Man of his word
