I Want to be More Like Jesus

Some of you will be very familiar with this poem, which was one of Keith Green´s songs. We tend to forget that, even though we know Jesus and want to live for Him, we forget that we need to desire and ask Him to help us, be more like Him. Some days we feel like we´ve come a long way, other days we totally forget how to "be like Jesus." So, this is a good reminder to me that I have a long way to go!

I Want to be More Like Jesus

By Keith Green

As each day passes by, I feel my love run dry.

I get so weary worn and tossed ‘round in the storm.

Well I’m blind to others’ needs,

And I’m tired of planting seeds.

I seem to have a wealth of so many thoughts

About myself.

I want to

I need to

Be more like Jesus.

I want to

I need to

Be more like Him.

Our Father’s will was done,

By giving us His Son,

Who paid the highest cost,

To point us to the cross.

And when I think of Him

Taking on the whole world’s sin,

I take one look at me, compared to

What I’m called to be.

Remember, there’s no greater love

Than to lay down your life for a friend.

The end of all my prayers,

Is to care like my Lord cares.

My one and only goal-

His image in my soul. Yes my weakness is revealed,

But by His stripes I’m healed!

He’s faithful and He’s true,

To complete the work He begins in you!
