Like Jesus
He lived with such a passion as this world has never seen
His heart was pure and holy never selfish never mean
And though He was rejected by the ones he came to save
Hell had no power to keep Him in the darkness of the grave
He spoke with loving firmness of the Kingdom that was His
Where all who lived in love with Him would never want to miss
The beauty and the wonder of that great palatial place
The center of the universe beyond the realms of space
He held such sweet communion every morning when He'd rise
With tears of deep compassion in His soft and gentle eyes
As speaking with His Father they would plan His work each day
Considering each life He'd touch and everything He'd say
To bring to them sweet comfort for the trials they were in
Or words of deep conviction for their dark and hidden sin
Or words that held the power to forgive where they'd gone wrong
To lift them from their guilt and shame and place in them a song
Of joy and peace and gladness of reflection on the ways
God's promised His direction in the soon uncertain days
When all will be commotion from the winds He will release
And only those who know Him best will live and dwell in peace
Because they have within them God's sweet Spirit who attends
To every situation as Christ's people He defends
Who've done the work before them in the faith of Jesus Christ
And kept His Law within them for which He did pay the Price
For as we look upon Him Who is Saviour God and King
Through words of inspiration while in prayer we're studying
His Spirit makes and molds us in the Image that we see
And places deep within us portions of divinity
As eating Bread from heaven feeding on His mighty Word
And drinking from the Fountain of the Lord as we have heard
We will become more like Him Whom His people failed to know
And by His grace reflect the Truth that He would have us show
So when He comes in glory to collect His precious gems
Those who will rise to glory will be those who look like Him
In image truth and character with those they knew before
Who found in them the love of God that they were looking for
Psalm 23; Matthew 16:24-27; Revelation 14:12
