C#m (x13321@4)            
 I played the fool so long, thought I was so strong
 A (x02220@1)                              E (022100@1)All the while You knew it wasn't true
 C#m 
 Rerunning in my mind, memories of another time
     A (x02220@1)                        E (022100@1) When all I ever lived for, was You

Chorus: 
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want me to be

C#m (x13321@4)I've been listening all my life, Words are spoken all the time
 A (x02220@1)                              E (022100@1)I have heard the liars and the true
 C#m
 Voices twisting in the air, sweetly sounding so unclear
      A (x02220@1)                             E (022100@1)But nothing can replace a word from You

Chorus: 
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want me to be

C#mA (x13321@4)child is but for so long, turn around those days are gone
  A (x02220@1)                              ENothing (022100@1)can replace the years of youth
         C#m (x13321@4)I have swallowed lies that tasted true, the plans I thought were sent from You
      A (x02220@1)                       E (022100@1)When all You wanted was for me to be still

Chorus: 
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want me to be
 C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)Jesus, make me the man You want to see
