[Verse 1]
       D                     G
In the final days of Summer, 1944
            D                            G
With just a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold
         Em                            A
They set out to find the future, not a penny to their name
           Em7                         A
Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her heart was safe


[Chorus 1]
                D                 G
'Cause he was a rock, he was the one that she ran to
            Bm7               G         Em                 A
And when he said the word "Forever" she knew that it was true
            F#m    D           G
He wasn't a saint, but he was saint enough for her
         Em7    A           Bm7
He was a man, a man of his word


[Verse 2]
       D                     G
In the final days of Summer, 1964
        D                   G
Found a family undivided, divided on the war
        Em                       A
Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and right
           Em7                                    A
He was the image of his father, though they would not see eye to eye


[Chorus 2]
                D                 G
Still, he was a rock, he was the one the boy ran to
               Bm7               G            Em7                A
'Cause when he said the words "I Love You" he knew that it was true
                D                              G
And even in the worst of storms, there was an anchor in his world
         Em7    A           D
He was a man, a man of his word


[Bridge]
F               G                  A                    Bm7              C#m
 Clutching a strong belief in the bible through all the sweetness in his life
        D              E                 F#m              E
And the bitterness of war, he knew what God had made him for


[Verse 3]
       D                     G
In the final days of summer, 1994

        D                         G
Surrounded by his family, and the presence of the Lord
       Em                          A
He set out to find his future, the one he'd always known
          Em7                              A
He didn't want to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul
Bm                  A
God had called him home


[Chorus 3]
                  D                 G
'Cause He was the rock, He was the one the man ran to
            Bm7                G        Em                 A
And when He said the word "forever", he knew that it was true
            F#m               G
He wasn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
            Em     A          D
Receiving a man, a man of his word
            G
He was the one that I run to
                Bm7               G       Em                 A
'Cause when he says the word "forever", I know his word is true
           F#m  D            G
He isn't a saint, He is the One the saints bow to
            Em7      A          Bm7
Come to the Man, the Man of his word
