Eb                                Bb           Eb
He was the kind of man that good men talk about
                                       Bb
The way he showed his faith was how he lived it out
     Gm                                                 Eb
His hands were rough and calloused and his shoes were old and torn
          Cm                                                    F
And the lines that framed his smile were lines so well and deep and worn
   Eb                             Dm                 Cm
So what will be remembered    of what he left behind?
                                F4 F
What will stand the test of time?

Wrap your arms around your children and pray with them each night

The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy of love

Eb                               Bb             Eb
He worked a second job to make the ends all meet
                                    Bb
But somehow managed to always be there for me
Gm                                             Eb
Taught me how to listen and how to stand for what is right
        Cm                                                    F Eb
And he showed me all the things that really matter in this life

         Eb                               Bb           Eb
And as i look into the eyes of my daughters and my sons
                                                          Bb
I hope i’ve stood for something that they’ll want to carry on
         Gm                F                  Eb   Dm
'cause life is far too short not to finally realize
            Cm                   Dm                      Eb       F G
That it’s long enough to make a difference     in someone’s   life

        C                              G/B
So i’m   gonna love my neighbor and i’m gonna love my wife
          Am                                  G              F
Wrap my arms around my children and pray with them each night

The ties that bind and leave behind a legacy

A legacy of love,  of love,  of love
