Come and See a Man

Somebody tell me when was the last time
you saw a real man?
One who is confident and does more than he can.
He may be poor financially but rich in character traits.
He may not be a model and a tad bit overweight.
He may be quiet and reserve than most.
He may be speak with a southern drawl but what is spoken
comes directly from the Holy Ghost.

He doesn't sag his jeans or wear ball caps.
He doesn't talk trash or look like he raps.
He doesn't practice looking cool, tough and all hard.
He just knows who he is.
He could never be mistaken for a fraud.
He doesn't have a lot of jewelry or cars that vary.
Instead he takes pride in his own library.

Intelligensia, Integrity, Independent are the only I's he claims.
His selflessness and labor is never in vain.
Silly women find him boring but its because they dont know.
A real man when he is seen doesn't need to show.
His muscles, his heart, he is always in control.
He cares for people, their purpose and their souls.

The woman at the well, saw Him.
Do you see Him too?
He could be an uncle, a cousin or nephew.
He could be a husband, or a preacher.
He could be an officer or maybe a teacher.
So many people are searching for Him,
but He is always there.
You can find Him in people's hearts,
He has always been there.
While man looks on the outside,
God sees the heart.
So why don't you look with God's vision in part?

Ladies dont miss your blessing looking with your natural eyes.
Brothers dont miss your blessing because you fail to realize.
Ministers, Mentors, mighty men of God.
Are all around you, if you look real hard.
How can a young boy grow up to be a man,
if he never saw one.
Understand?
So perhaps you should go on a field trip and search for such a man.
For such a man is more than what is expected and...
Seek his knowledge and wisdom for they are not his to have alone.
A real man knows his purpose for it is apart of being grown.
Age is only a number, but maturity is key.
For a man craves it, for that makes a man complete and totally free.
He learns, He earns, He helps, He cares. He creates.
He is simply a man who serves His heavenly Father.
Will you see him or not even be bothered.
