Be Like Jesus

I have seen the son of Eve in me, my joy stolen by my jealousy

The blood I spilt cries out from the ground

I've prayed for freedom from that wickedness, felt relief but every now and then

It taps upon the shoulder of my soul

Beckons me to places I don't want to go

Cause I want to be like Jesus, I want to be like Him

I've been a lot like Lot's wife, looking back upon my sinful life

Wanting to go live that way again

Thinking it brings peace and happiness, how quick I can be to forget

The pain that goes along with all of it

There's a reason Sodom no longer exists

And I want to be like Jesus, I want to be like Him

Well, my life has looked real similar to Mary's busy big sister

Anxious to keep up appearances

Worried and upset by much, distracted by the good I've done

Forgetting how much time is really worth

Seeking my salvation through my works

But I want to be like Jesus, I want to be like Him

When I think of Andrew's brother, denying Jesus three times over

I'm convicted of the ways I've done the same

Quick to step out on the water, but when it's not like what I wanted

I look away and start to sink under the waves

Lord, help me fix my eyes and keep my faith

Cause I want to be like Jesus, I want to be like Him

I try to see the Son of God in me

I know that I have been redeemed from the worst of all the ways I used to live

He is calling me to greater things

He helps me in my unbelief

He shows me that I'm loved through all of it

And I want to be like Jesus, I want to be like Him
