Brian Free & Assurance - "I Want To Be That Man" (Official Music Video)

[@johnnycowart2305]

As a single father of six children (i have sole custody), I have an incredible responsibility to lead my family. This song inspires me to raise my (three) sons as Jacob did Joseph, and to care for my (three) daughters in a gentle way. Living by 1 Timothy 6:11- O man of God- pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Words to live by, and thank you for a song that I pray will help me to model my life for them. Blessings

[@GoBrowns64]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a praying wife that my husband will decide to follow Christ and help spiritually lead our family. I'm so blessed already just to have him, and I don't want him to miss out on seeing what God can really do in his life!

[@richardcarroll4865]

Jesus told us to pray unceasingly. Keep at it. The Lord is your strength

[@andrewposton396]

I got saved at a BFA concert on January 11th, 2013 while listening to this song being performed. It was the greatest moment of my life thus far. Thank you Brian for this song.

[@sherryallison7347]

What an awesome testimony Andrew Poston!!! What a difference it would make if all men chose to be a man of God and the spiritual leader of his home for your family! I pray you lead your family to follow God for the rest of their lives! Amen

[@TNcatlover33]

I miss my daddy so much! This was our second Christmas without him and even while he was going through chemo an radiation he continued to witness to the lost an showing an example to my mom and me about being filled with the love of Jesus! Thank God above I had him for 42 years before The Lord called him home! My husband never had a daddy period and I had the daddy the played with me, guided me with a stern hand, and loved me unconditionally! I was blessed beyond measure! I have three Bibles, the one he studied with, the one he bought me 13 years ago that I study with, and the one him and mom gave me together! I can never make it through this song without crying! Thank you for this song! My daddy was my first love, my role model that pointed me to Jesus, and I look forward to seeing him again soon!

[@jrhernandez1225]

Cal me selfish cause right now as I hear these words I am only seeing Christ.

[@AngieGarner7]

Love this anointed group ! Godly men, Beautiful voices 🙏🏻Brian beautiful inside and out! ❤️🙌🏻 a Godly man is what all Godly women’s hearts desire ❤️ this world needs more Godly men!

[@joshuataylor6475]

BFA is the most incredible and unique Gospel group in music today. They have a one-of-a-kind sound that no other Christian group has. Every song they sing has a strong, Christ-centered, biblical message in it, and I really can't say that about much of anyone else. Plus, Brian has one of the most incredible voices and ranges I have EVER heard, and Bill sings with such incredible emotion. BFA's harmonies on this song and all albums between 2007-2014 are completely unmatched in my opinion. Such a amazing and blessed group of talented Christians, and I am so glad to have met them personally!

[@racheldougherty-md8hm]

Brian Free was apart of the Gold City quartet in the 80s and 90s and his was amazing then as well. VERY good range like you said.

[@RileyRose444]

Real

[@bobbyshehan349]

Awesome lyrics, thank God for my Dad ,which is in Heaven now.But I must say thank you to Jesus, he has been so good to me.

[@richardcarroll4865]

Just think, he is now singing in that Heavenly choir. No music on earth can compare to the music we'll hear up there. But you can be assured that Brian will be singing the loudest. Thank you Lord for giving us great Gospel music while we're still down here.

[@debbiewomer442]

This is my Dads life. He has always lived his life before me and my famliy just like this song. Thank you for this beautiful song. I want to be the example for my children that he is.

[@KwameS14]

I WANT TO BE THAT MAN! Please Help Me Lord!

[@mannycastro8196]

Amen brother!!!!!

[@DavidLeonard-j6p]

Brian Free is one of the best tenor singers that has ever came into the Gospel music field , he will tell you himself that when he first started singing with GOLD CITY he wasn’t really a christian . A few years later he ask GOD to come in his heart to stay and he has been doing Gods work ever since that day . Thank the LORD for helping Brian stay teaching about Jesus through song . His voice is like no other tenor singer in the business and now with his own group he can sing as long as he feels like doing the traveling . 👍🇺🇸👍

[@iolantheveloma]

My dad isn't like this, but I've had several men in life who have been that kind of father to me. I thank God for them every day! No words could ever explain how much y'all mean to me. 💗

[@richardcarroll4865]

Will pray daily for him

[@kay777ish]

What a powerful song by Brian Free & Assurance for this late hour, when many men have failed to be keepers on the homefront. Brian's love and committment to his wife Pam and his sons Ricky and Bryce have always touched my daughter's life and mine in our darkest hours when we felt abandoned..Brian has always walked the talk-give us more great men like him. What a great light to our menfolks everywhere! Our love n prayers as ever-rev lk reedy/beacon of hope ministries/wsyd NC~~

[@jessljordan27]

You guys are my favorite. The first time I heard this song was the same day I met y'all for the first time at a baptist church in South Carolina. I immediately started crying & thanked the Lord for a Daddy, who loves the Lord. I hope some day God blesses me with a husband who is half the man my daddy is. Your songs have gotten me through many bad days. Thank y'all for being such an inspiration to me.

[@richardcarroll4865]

Just keep praying for the right man to come into your life. God has already picked out the Godly man for you. All in His time.

[@Francisfaustina]

GUYS....THIS IS SUCH A WONDERFUL SONG!!! I pray that more men will listen and be moved to follow Christ through it. Women should be looking for men like THIS!!! A Diamond out of millions!

[@eppie1515]

I cry and think of my dad! He was saved and sanctified for over 30 years and he backslid… he’s deathly sick and all I can do is pray. God has kept him alive through prayer and I know it!

[@compton1808]

I am so sorry. He knows who to turn to. Very possibly he will ask for repentance before his last breath.

[@grammolajones2809]

Your dad is still saved.

[@v.l.coleman4613]

One of the wonderful things about Jesus is he will leave the ninety and nine, and search for that one lost sheep. I hope he has been found.

[@Francisfaustina]

We need more Christian men like this!!! God give us Good Godly men and women!

[@JamesDeanYoungs]

I'm going to be that man, for my future sons.

[@joesprague2261]

James Dean Youngs Amen

[@williamduncan8900]

For my grandfather, Fred A. Duncan, who was - in all his adult life - "That Man!"

[@denisesmith6712]

I want to be that man!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be amazing we can all be that man

[@sanctified4]

Such a powerful song. I'm praying in Jesus name for more godly men and fathers to rise up as role models and inspiration for our country and children.

[@wildkate2000]

I am praying for some men in this world to step up for the Lord. He has done everything for us, and in todays age, no one really seems to care.

[@Charlenemartin3]

The greatest Gospel group hands down.

[@slantsix6344]

We can't be those men by trying hard, but by being empowered by Christ. The closer we get to him his power is manifested in our lifes. No more ME, but as Christians we are not to strive to be independent like the world, but totally dependent on Jesus in a relationship.

[@Ladyailiken]

This was my daddy!! I'm not a man, but want to be just like he was and my Mamaw & Papaw was!! Thank You Brian for this wonderful song and Calvary's Cry....My all time favorite is Where would you be...

[@apegrape4312]

Agreed!

[@kyraditto997]

Tomorrow is my Pastor's last day preaching. I can't be there because I'm sick. My friend is going to show this and read the letter I sent them. He is my godly father, and if my parents die and no family can take care of me, I'll go live with him. He's actually my godfather by legal documents as of October 31st, 2018.

[@carenkanjiru5904]

Simple yet so profound. Great, great song

[@StevenJarrett1961]

WOW... is really all I can say. Every man should want to be that man!!!!

[@keithwiehle7577]

I guess that those individuals that didn't like this song, and it's meaning, didn't want to be that man! That's a shame!!

[@CaptMoo]

I love Christian music videos that has MEANING in it. Not just only persons singing, but expressions of the message through a skit or something. And Brian Free & Assurance has hit the head of the nail with this. Love it!!

[@garscott]

A very powerful message that all the world should hear.

[@johnbrown5615]

My father has been that man but I havent always, recently I have asked the Lord to be my savior and I want to be that man!

[@xcfcould]

@@johnbrown5615 bkkkkimjkkm'uj

[@johnc1014]

I want to be that man who loves the Lord and leads his family in his ways. I've sought to put away childish things and grow into maturity. Now, at 24, I have a full time career in the military and an extra part-time job on the side. I'm also pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering that I could either switch to as a different career or is for missions work helping developing nations with infrastructure and sharing the love of Christ to them. I also recently bought my first home. All that's really left is to be married and have a family of my own. Yet, I've yet to find a lady who meets three basic criteria: 1) faith in Christ, 2) bearing good spiritual fruit (particularly having a servant's heart as the Lord gave me that), 3) prioritizes marriage and family. I've only really found one who has a servant's heart like mine and none that especially seem to want a family of their own. Most just seem to want their own college/career/independence. I don't want a wife like that; just a good wife/mother/manager of the home (Titus 2:3-5).

[@stevewallace7623]

I don't have any of my own kids, but I do have god kids and I want them to say, He was a man after God's on heart. And let them see Him in me and His love for them. I praise Your Holy Name. I love You so much Lord Jesus.

[@jenniferdickerson4868]

Totally love this song. I wish that Christian men would stand up and be the man God has intended him to be. Our families need them, our church needs them, and our nation needs them.

[@robertswopes8384]

I remember my father doing the same thing. He is in heaven now, and it has taken me 50 years to realize , I wanna be that man too !!!! This song has touched me like no other song ever has. I am making this my goal, to be that man

[@carab566]

I want to be that man as well. I pray every day that more people do. God is using these guys and others to reach people and it is amazing. God bless these guys.

[@laneblount9888]

They showed this in church on Father's Day. Amazing song

[@taylorshelton6757]

I’m going to be that man for my future wife and kids this song showed me how a man could be in the eyes of God and so I’m so out of the will of God it’s not even funny and I’m a pastors kid and it hurts me that what I put my parents through be I thought I wanted to do as a man was it but it’s not in man eyes as the Bible says “For God so loved that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believers in him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16, and it also says in John that “That the word was God and it finally hit me what I have missed in the word of God I hope this touches somebody

[@stantrammell752]

In my opinion is one of the greatest gospel signing groups that ever existed.

[@craigconnelly9710]

Most encouraging song to me to spend more time living his word and doing better in my life. Thank you so much. God Bless you guys

[@TinasheMachimbidza]

I remember when I first heard this song on Singing News Radio I feel in love instantly

[@polsiola]

nothing but awesome...I wanna be that man too...for my family...love God and him blessing these guys! Inspirational!

[@melindamorris7460]

Great song reminds me so much of my dad 9 kids and he loved us all , with everything in his heart......

[@CathieMMcG]

The best gospel song I have discovered in a few years. The words, the singing and the delivery! Praise God for songwriters and artists who will boldly proclaim this!

[@josephmiller2490]

David told Solomon how to be a man. This song puts it into a modern wording of what David instructed his son. I love this song. I want to be a REAL man, a Man of God! 1 Kings 2:1-4 1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; 3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee said he a man on the throne of Israel.

[@jayrockmakwein]

I want to be that man who loves my life, serves my family and more importantly, serve the lord.

[@richardgalbraith6165]

I am READY! Thank you Lord for always giving that "second" chance!

[@davidrice8823]

as I think about my life, my loneliness , and all my shortcomings and character flaws, I can testify this song is convicting. I wanna be that man so much. I pledge to give each day to the Lord and let Him take control

[@andreabrown4659]

I pray that I can be an ultimate tool of Jesus against evil. If we don't help the new generation of children, then they are doomed. This world is an evil place. Christians unite!!!

[@Francisfaustina]

Videos like this are GREAT to post to Facebook and Twitter to evangelize and share!!! THANKS GUYS!!!

[@ncbb19]

First time I heard this song, I had to pull over because I was so overcome. I was looking for a new song to sing in church. It was like God said, "here you go.!!!" This song depicts by father....he is the Godly man I wish to be.

[@jeffmclowry]

I'm not a Christian but that is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@drumsdudegaming20]

Jeff McLowry Even though you aren't Christian, I respect you for listening to this and not saying anything offensive about it, unlike others out there who do.

[@bradfruth4869]

Christ died and rose again to be Savior for any/all. He urges you to follow Him (Christian=Christ follower) by faith. John 3

[@drumsdudegaming20]

Amen Brad Fruth

[@jintrash2816]

Brad Fruth Amen

[@blackout88jh55]

Hello. Yes, I respect you for not cursing God as some would do. But I would like to introduce you to one of my friends. His name is JESUS! He died for you! Yes He did! Please accept Him into your heart before it's too late. The Bible says that there is pleasure in sin for a season, that means that it feels good when your doing it, but you lose it all in the end...Heaven! Then there's hell, where you burn and then cast into a lake of fire to burn forever. But Heaven is where you get to live in Peace eternally with God, JESUS, and The Holy Ghost! Please Accept Him! God Bless!!! JESUS LOVES YOU AND EVERYBODY!!!

[@FrankLawrence]

Words can NOT begin to explain the emotion that runs through my body when i heard this song.....GOD bless you guys and keep on keeping on

[@floydlance6929]

How perfect, we should all want to be this man that is inspired by other men of God and by God. If we and others truly wanted to be this man, could you even imagine what an amazing place this would be. For this to be, we must start with ourselves, and as we live this exaple, our children and others will follow

[@Enlevos3]

BFA Brazil awaits the!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@randymagill142]

Love this song and group. Such a powerful message for us men as spiritual leaders of our family. I make mistakes but still strive to be what God wants me to be for my wife and kids.

[@ramsguitar]

great message my father drowned when I was 12 and we buried him on Christmas eve. It has never been the same since. I now lead worship at my church and sing the song that I wrote for him Daddy's Shoes on Fathers Day. Blessings!

[@MJ4EVER68]

Beautiful song! Reminds me of my Godly father. He is the same at home as he is in the pulpit. Always a great example to me.

[@davidakridge2831]

Might be the most powerful song I've ever heard that deals with the spiritual man. if you have a father that is this song, it is more than words can describe. If you are a father, this is how you want your kids to see you.

[@sanctified4]

Love, love, love. Wish every man felt like this.

[@kdawson7390]

2 weeks ago was "Father's Day," and of all the men out there who never had a "father," I was one. At has been a hard couple of weeks. I couldn't figure out why, until I realized 2 weeks ago was "Father's Day." A national "holiday" (in the USA) that promotes hurt and pain. Even when you know you have your heavenly father (God), it can promote hard emotions without realizing it. Questions like "what is a father?" Or, because of unbelieving society, "what is a man" for that's matter? Fathers are very important to children, more than you can know.

[@MrGene-jj7xj]

MEN! Fight the good fight of faith! Never give up - you CAN be THAT man. He is with you to the very end. He is faithful. He drank from the cup that no one else could drink - redeeming us by His blood. Look what He did for us...Now you go and be that man! Fight, pray, hope and believe no matter what! Let's persevere to the end! Seek O man, strive! Let us all desire to hear from the Lord...Well done good and faithful servant.

[@davidrice8823]

I hope Our Father allows me to be that man one day!!

To do this and sing as these Gents have is one thing, however, to sing this while having your heart and mind paying homage to Christ and his ministry is a truly huge blessing to both BFA and his listeners.
