Be Like Jesus

[Verse 1] For years, there’s been an exodus from the church Our culture has questioned its worth We’ve made mistakes, got off track Built idols of those that lack If you wonder why our place isn’t one to be proud of It’s because we’re not known by His love [Chorus] I just want to be like Jesus I want to be a reflection of Him I want to love my neighbor Like Jesus was there in front of them Remember His criticism went to the religious And He didn’t mince words for those with all the clout So, to Jesus alone I’ll be devout [Verse 2] We want to blame the world for all the wrongs To point a finger and say they don’t belong But Jesus ran to the hurting He gave His life when we weren’t worth it Why do we act like we’re above them all? Seems like our aim has always been too small [Chorus] I just want to be like Jesus I want to be a reflection of Him I want to love my neighbor Like Jesus was there in front of them Remember His criticism went to the religious And He didn’t mince words for those with all the clout So, to Jesus alone I’ll be devout So to Jesus alone I'll be devout... [Acoustic Verse 3] One day we’ll answer for the things we’ve left undone We’ll get in by the blood of Jesus alone So these three things I pray; To see Him more clearly, To love Him more dearly, To follow Him more nearly, That’s our only way That's our only way [Chorus] I just want to be like Jesus I want to be a reflection of Him I want to love my neighbor Like Jesus was there in front of them Remember His criticism went to the religious And He didn’t mince words for those with all the clout So, to Jesus alone I’ll be devout [Bridge] Jesus, let me see you more clearly Let me love you more dearly Let me follow you more nearly Oh, my Jesus... I just want to be like you [Piano Instrumental Outro] [End] [End]
