Intro: D    D7    G 

 
G                               C 
  I want to follow in daddy's footsteps 
       D7                         G 
Let me be the man he wanted me to be 
                             C 
I want to follow the path of righteousness 
  D7                                  G 
Remembering all the things he told to me 
    D7 
He said son love thy neighbor 
    G 
And trust in Him above 
       A7 
Think not of hate but keep within 
  D7 
A heart that's filled with love 
          G                 C 
I want to follow in daddy's footsteps 
       D7                          G   G 
Let me be the man my daddy used to be 

Recitation 
                               C 
Yes Jesus let me follow in the footsteps of my dad 
                           D7 
Cause 'twas him that often told me of you on your throne of gold 
       G 
And he told me of how You searched the mountain 
        D7                     G 
For the little lamb that went astray 
                                       D7            C 
And brought him back and tucked him so safely in the fold 
                                  D7 
And he told me how they hung You on the cold and bitter cross 
        G                                                      D7 
And his story went on how they placed the crown upon your head 
                                                   G 
And he told me how they pierced your tender side O Son of God 
                                 A7 
And left you there to hang until you were dead 
                     D7 
That's why I want to follow in the footsteps of my daddy now 
        G 
Because I want to be the man that he wanted me to be 
    C                                               D7 
And then some day just as he told me before he left us and went away 
                              G 
My loving daddy with my Jesus I shall see 

Outro: 

   D7                            G       D7    G 
So I'll trust in the Father that watches from above 
   A7                                 D7 
To take good care of daddy and shower him with precious love 
          G                 C 
I want to follow in daddy's footsteps 
       D7                           G 
Let me be the man that daddy use to be
