Em7 A Em7 A D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
In the final days of Summer, 1944
D G
With just a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold
Em A
They set out to find the future, not a penny to their name
Em7 A
Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her heart was safe
[Chorus 1]
D G
'Cause he was a rock, he was the one that she ran to
Bm7 G Em A
And when he said the word "Forever" she knew that it was true
F#m D G
He wasn't a saint, but he was saint enough for her
Em7 A Bm7
He was a man, a man of his word
[Verse 2]
D G
In the final days of Summer, 1964
D G
Found a family undivided, divided on the war
Em A
Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and right
Em7 A
He was the image of his father, though they would not see eye to eye
[Chorus 2]
D G
Still, he was a rock, he was the one the boy ran to
Bm7 G Em7 A
'Cause when he said the words "I Love You" he knew that it was true
D G
And even in the worst of storms, there was an anchor in his world
Em7 A D
He was a man, a man of his word
[Bridge]
F G A Bm7 C#m
Clutching a strong belief in the bible through all the sweetness in his life
D E F#m E
And the bitterness of war, he knew what God had made him for
[Verse 3]
D G
In the final days of summer, 1994
D G
Surrounded by his family, and the presence of the Lord
Em A
He set out to find his future, the one he'd always known
Em7 A
He didn't want to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul
Bm A
God had called him home
[Chorus 3]
D G
'Cause He was the rock, He was the one the man ran to
Bm7 G Em A
And when He said the word "forever", he knew that it was true
F#m G
He wasn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
Em A D
Receiving a man, a man of his word
G
He was the one that I run to
Bm7 G Em A
'Cause when he says the word "forever", I know his word is true
F#m D G
He isn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
Em7 A Bm7
Come to the Man, the Man of his word
