Grandpa never broke a promise to this little boy
once he went to seven stores to find my favorite toy
every basketball game in that hot and humid gym
five rows up behind the bench, you could count on him

chorus
grandpa taught the ten commandments, lived the golden rule
how to turn the other cheek when your neighbor's cruel
John three sixteen and what it means, now I know for sure
Grandpa taught me to be, a man of His Word

v
he taught me to apologize whenever I was wrong
failing ain't failing if I get back up strong
always tell the truth cause when you tell someone a lie
it's never quite the same when you look them in the eye

chorus
grandpa taught the ten commandments, lived the golden rule
how to turn the other cheek when your neighbor's cruel
John three sixteen and what it means, now I know for sure
Grandpa taught me to be, a man of His Word

when heaven called him home the church overflowed
they lined up to talk about the friend they'd all known
when I hold Grandpa's Bible I know he's there with me
Lord, thank you for the man who helped me see

chorus
grandpa taught the ten commandments, lived the golden rule
how to turn the other cheek when your neighbor's cruel
John three sixteen and what it means, now I know for sure
Grandpa taught me to be, a man of His Word
Grandpa always was, a man of His Word
A man, of His Word
