To Be Like Jesus
Aspiring to Embrace Grace: To Be Like Jesus by Bethany Jennings
Lyrics
I’ll never quite measure up
I acknowledge that I will never fully meet the standards.
I’ll never get it all right
I won't be able to get everything right.
No I’m not perfect and that’s okay
I recognize my imperfections, and I accept that it's fine.
Cause I’ll never give up the fight
Despite challenges, I am committed to persevering.
To be like Jesus
Expressing the aspiration to emulate the qualities of Jesus.
To be like Jesus
Reiterating the desire to be like Jesus.
On Earth I long
Longing to embody Jesus' qualities during life on Earth.
To be like Him
The ultimate goal is to be like Him (Jesus).
All through life’s journey
This desire extends throughout the journey of life.
From earth to glory
From earthly existence to the glory of heaven.
I only ask
A humble request to be like Him (Jesus).
To be like Him
Emphasizing the wish to be like Him.
I’ll do whatever you need
Expressing willingness to do whatever is necessary.
But there’s far too much for my eyes to see
Acknowledging limitations in understanding.
Just let me walk closer to thee
Requesting to walk closer to God and seek understanding.
And know that I am willing to be
Expressing readiness to be like Jesus.
To be like Jesus
Reiterating the desire to be like Jesus.
To be like Jesus
Continuing to express the aspiration to be like Jesus.
On Earth I long
Longing to embody Jesus' qualities during life on Earth.
To be like Him
The ultimate goal is to be like Him (Jesus).
All through life’s journey
This desire extends throughout the journey of life.
From earth to glory
From earthly existence to the glory of heaven.
I only ask
A humble request to be like Him (Jesus).
To be like Him
Emphasizing the wish to be like Him.
I want to be just like You
Expressing the desire to emulate Jesus in character.
I want to love like You do
Aspiring to love as Jesus does.
I want to be just like You
Reiterating the desire to emulate Jesus in character.
Give me a heart that’s after You
Seeking a heart that is aligned with God.
I want to be just like You
Expressing the desire to emulate Jesus in character.
I want to love like You do
Aspiring to love as Jesus does.
I want to be just like You
Reiterating the desire to emulate Jesus in character.
Give me a heart that’s after You
Seeking a heart that is aligned with God.
For You are my example, Lord
Acknowledging Jesus as the example to follow.
I need peace and patience more
Expressing the need for qualities like peace and patience.
So give me strength to persevere
Seeking strength to endure challenges.
’Til I can make it to heaven’s shore
Striving to reach the shores of heaven.
To be like Jesus
