 C#5              
 I played the fool so long, thought I was so strong
 A5                                E5
 All the while You knew it wasn't true
 C#5 
 Rerunning in my mind, memories of another time
     A5                          E5 
 When all I ever lived for, was You


Chorus: 
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want me to be


 C#5
 I've been listening all my life, Words are spoken all the time
 A5                                E5
 I have heard the liars and the true
 C#5
 Voices twisting in the air, sweetly sounding so unclear
      A5                               E5
 But nothing can replace a word from You


Chorus: 
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want me to be


 C#5
A child is but for so long, turn around those days are gone
  A5                                E5
Nothing can replace the years of youth
         C#5
 I have swallowed lies that tasted true, the plans I thought were sent from You
      A5                         E5
 When all You wanted was for me to be still


Chorus: 
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want to see

Melody:  [ A5  B5  C#5 ]  x2
...

[ C#5   A5    C#5   B5     ] x2
 Ooh-- ohh- ohh-- ohh oh  

Chorus: 
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make us the men You want us to be
 C#5                 A5                 E5
 Jesus, make me the man You want to see

                    A5                      E5
The burning in the heart of our deepest desire
                   B5                       C#5
Is rising like a flame burning higher and higher

                    A5                      E5
The burning in the heart of our deepest desire
            B5   C#5
Is to know You
