I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus

I'm trying to be like Jesus
I'm following in His ways
I'm trying to love as He did
In all that I do and say
At times I am tempted
To make a wrong choice
But I try to listen
As the still small voice whispers:

"Love one another as Jesus loves you
Try to show kindness in all that you do
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought
For these are the things Jesus taught."

I'm trying to love my neighbor
I'm learning to serve my friends
I watch for that day of gladness
When Jesus will come again

I try to remember the lessons he taught
And the holy spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

"Love one another as Jesus loves you
Try to show kindness in all that you do
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought
For these are the things Jesus taught."
