In His Blood by Brush Arbor Lyrics

After graduation
My brother volunteered
And Mama nearly fell apart
As the day drew near
She tried hard to stop him
But Dad knew what to say
I listened as he held her close
He said it just this way

He said it's in his blood
There's nothing else for him to do
How could you say no to him
After all that he's been through
Tell him you believe in him
And soon I know you'll see
A man become all he was meant to be

When my brother Joe got tired
Of the junior rodeo
He tried out for ridin' bull
And nearly stole the show
Begging for permission
Mama just said no way
But then my Dad took Mom aside
And I heard him gently say
He said it's in his blood
There's nothing else for him to do
How could you say no to him
After all that he's been through
Tell him you believe in him
And soon I know you'll see
A man become all he was meant to be

Daddy was a preacher
I forgot to say
And recently I went to church
To hear him preach the way
Soon I was on bended knees
Crying over wasted years
Jesus paid it all, Dad said
I heard him through the tears

He said it's in His blood
There's nothing else for Him to do
How could you say no to Him
After all that He's been through
Tell Him you believe in Him
And soon I know you'll see
A Man become all He was meant to be
A Man become all He was meant to be
