Verse 1
(A)I walked down mem'ry lane to(F#m)day,
Reliving moments of the (A)past,
I saw the making of a (Bm)man
(D)And the joy that came at (Bm)last.
(A)Shattered hopes and broken (F#m)dreams
Marked the pages as they (A)turned,
I saw the making of a (Bm)man
(D)From the lessons that he'd (Bm)learned.
(A)Every heartache through the years [Through the years]
Had been sent by God's Own (F#m)hand [God's Own hand]
And the shedding of those (D)tears were

Chorus 1
The making of a (A)man,
The breaking of a (C#m)heart,
How God can take a (Bm)life
And give it a new (D)start.
If you'll just believe all things are (A)possible.
Oh, what God can (Bm)do
If you're willing to go (D)through
The making of a (A)man.

[(C#m)The making of a man,
(A)The (C#m)making of a man.]

Verse 2
(A)And each trial along the (F#m)way
Brought him closer to the (A)Lord,
He was strengthened day by (Bm)day
(D)As he learned to love Him (Bm)more.
(A)Through it all shone bright and clear [bright and clear],
From these mem'ries of the (F#m)past [the memories],
How God's Love had used each (D)tear
To make a better man at (Bm)last.(Dm)

Chorus 2
The making of a (A)man,
The breaking of a (C#m)heart,
How God can take a (Bm)life
And give it a new (D)start.
If you'll just believe all things are (A)possible.
Oh, what God can (Bm)do
If you're willing to go (D)through
The making of a (A)man.

Oh, what God can (Bm)do
If you're willing to go (D)through
The making of a (A)man.
