about

This song is about 3 things:

1) How I treat my wife reflects to my son how he should treat his...
2) How I treat my wife reflects to my daughter the kind of man to marry...
3) How I treat my wife reflects to my wife (true or not) what Christ is like…

I hope it convicts and encourages many men to be the kind of husbands and fathers God has called us to be!

lyrics

(Chorus)
My son is lookin’ to me
The kind of man that he’ll be
Depends on how I lead
(So you gotta be true)
My daughter looks at my life
The way I’m treating my wife
Determining who she’ll find
(She’ll want someone like you)
My wife needs my embrace
A husband teaching the faith
She wants me leading the way
(Tell me what will you do)
Cuz I’m the head of my home
Don’t wanna be on my own
So don’t leave me alone
(He will carry you through)

(Verse1)
I’m looking at my son like
He’s go’ reflect what I do like the moon do the sunlight
I’m an example to his young life
To treat my wife like a queen so he’s seen how it’s done right
I gotta teach him right from wrong
But all along show him that his daddy’s love for him is strong
When he disobeys the discipline is on
Otherwise he’ll think that he can disobey the God whom he belongs
He needs to see that women ought to be respected
So do I treat his mother gently is she honored and protected
‘She provided for or is she more neglected
Does she receive the minimum or much more than what’s expected
Does he know before a man can seek a spouse
He should provide for himself and prove to manage his own house
Does he watch the words that’s coming out his mouth
Man have I used my life to teach him what a man is all about

(Chorus)
My son is lookin’ to me
The kind of man that he’ll be
Depends on how I lead
(So you gotta be true)
My daughter looks at my life
The way I’m treating my wife
Determining who she’ll find
(She’ll want someone like you)
My wife needs my embrace
A husband teaching the faith
She wants me leading the way
(Tell me what will you do)
Cuz I’m the head of my home
Don’t wanna be on my own
So don’t leave me alone
(He will carry you through)

(Verse2)
Now I’m looking at my daughter
She’ll choose a man for a husband whose just like her father
That puts the pressure on me and it aughta
Cuz she’s a precious flower but she’ll wilt if I don’t give her water
Look, she needs to know her daddy loves her
Or else she’ll spend her whole life tryin’ to find it from another
Does she see me love my wife or is it under cover
Cuz she’ll be looking for a man that treats her like I treat her mother
Does she see her daddy as a servant leader
Sacrificing for my wife so when I’m home she puts her feet up
A good king, gracious priest, true preacher
So when she’s on her own she’s looking for a true believer
Is she modest when she gets dressed
Have I taught her that as the Lord’s daughter she’s a princess
That true beauties not pretentious
Have I raised her in the Lord what kind of message have I impressed

(Chorus repeat)

(Verse3)
If I don’t understand my own condition
That I’m a sinful man who can’t bring about his own redemption
Can I sympathize my wife in her position
How can I play the role I’s made for without this recognition
See, to love the Lord your God is first
I gotta know this kind of love if I’m go’ give it back to her
And be her leader whether better or for worse
Intimacy ultimately aught to be what she prefers
So am I humble when I’m wrong do I confess
Do I have a servants heart that’s sensitive to moments when she’s stressed
In correction do I have her best interest
Do I communicate in conflict so there’s love when we’re finished
In conclusion what’s my goal in this
To wash her in the Word and learn how to lead her into holiness
I’m putting all my heart and soul in this
But without his grace I’ll never treat her in a way that is appropriate

(Chorus Repeat)
