In Daddy's Footsteps

By Hank Snow

G                           C

I want to follow in daddy's footsteps

       D7                         G

Let me be the man he wanted me to be

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

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

Let me be the man my daddy used to be

Recitation:

Yes Jesus let me follow in the footsteps of my dad

       D7                                                   G

Cause 'twas him that often told me of you on your throne of gold

And he told me of how You searched the mountain

        D7                     G

For the little lamb that went astray

                                       D7            G

And brought him back and tucked him so safely in the fold

And he told me how they hung You on the cold and bitter cross

        D7                                                G

And his story went on how they placed the crown upon your head

And he told me how they pierced your tender side O Son of God

    D7                                    G

And left you there to hang until you were dead

That's why I want to follow in the footsteps of my daddy now

        D7                                        G

Because I want to be the man that he wanted me to be

And then some day just as he told me before he left us and went away

          D7                          G

My loving daddy with my Jesus I shall see

Sung:

        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
