"The Mark of a Man of God" - STEVE CAMP - from the CD "Abandoned to God"

A Godly man is such a rarity today So many start, strong and true, And quickly fall away A Godly man will take his stand He can't be bought or sold Hand to the plow, He won't look back Though other hearts grow cold He keeps the faith And keeps his conscience clear He lives this life of grace Through all his years The mark of a man of God Is what he's faithful to And what he's fleeing from And what he's fighting for The heart of a man of God Is what he daily pursues His family, friends, the word the church And worship of the Lord The Godly man daily takes up The cross of Christ And faithfully follows Him As a living sacrifice Not ashamed of the gospel His sufficiency's in Christ The power of integrity Is the passion of his life Instead of reckless faith He has proven his faith works His ultimate priority The Master's plan for the church Saved without a doubt Because his first love is the Lord And the Gosple according to Jesus Is the truth he would die for He lives his life To teach the word In season and in not For he fears more than any man The approval of his God He lovingly, yet firmly Leads those placed in his care The power of his ministry Is that he is a man of prayer A Godly man takes A young Timothy like me And teaches me to run the race To carry on this life of Grace He sts the mark And we keep the pace With this man of God.
