Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
He don’t brag about his blessings
He just opens up his hands
Leaves a little extra harvest
At the edges of his land
He forgives before it’s easy
Speaks the truth
But soft and slow
Keeps his promises to strangers
Like his yes still means yes and not a “no”

[Chorus]
A good man walks
Before he talks
Lets his footsteps preach the words he reads
He loves Jehovah
He loves his home
Puts the weary first and takes the lowest seat
A good man walks
A good man walks
Where mercy meets his dusty
Ordinary feet

[Verse 2]
He won’t crush a broken spirit
Won’t put out a fading flame
He remembers he’s been rescued
So he will never point and blame
He is quick to hear the hurting
Slow to anger
Slow to speak
He fights lions in the shadows
For the sake of the small and all the weak

[Chorus]
A good man walks
Before he talks
Lets his footsteps preach the words he reads
He loves his Jehovah
He loves his home
Puts the weary first and takes the lowest seat
A good man walks
A good man walks
Where mercy meets his dusty
Ordinary feet

[Bridge]
He stores his treasure
Where rust can’t reach it
He hides no Scripture
So he can teach it
He falls
He fails
Still he stands back up
‘Cause the righteous rise
Every time they’re knocked down to the dust (oh-oh)

[Southern Style guitar solo]

[Chorus]
A good man walks
Before he talks
Lets his footsteps preach the words he reads
He loves Jehovah
He loves his home
Puts the weary first and takes the lowest seat
A good man walks
A good man walks
Where mercy meets his dusty
Ordinary feet

(What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!)
Yes he is!
(What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!)
Yes he is!
(What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!)
Yes he is!
(What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!
Oh yeah! He is!
