The Most Like Him
When someone is converted from the life they knew before
To living in a lifestyle with the One that they adore
Should not that be reflected in the things they do and say
To let the world around them see there is a better Way
For many this is truly the experience they've found
They've built their whole existence once again on holy ground
As now their new reality is motivated here
By faith that Jesus' coming is not distant but quite near
So near they almost taste it in the morning when they rise
As wafts the perfect fragrance of God's Spirit when their eyes
Behold the Father's glory in the scriptures that they read
Instructing them in how to share with others here in need
Of His endearing presence that's been promised to us all
When once we feel the burden and responsive to His call
We move away from comfort in the life we've known before
And draw in even deeper to the One that we adore
Who says He sees no longer the misgivings of our past
When we in faith pursue His will and all our burdens cast
Upon our loving Saviour Who poured out His life for us
In Whom we can experience the most endearing trust
That does not fear tomorrow or what other folks may say
That truly sees in Jesus Christ the Life the Truth the Way
Wherein is life eternal with the saints who here before
Found solace in believing no one else could love them more
Than He Who gave all heaven and His throne above to prove
That for our soul's salvation there was nothing that could move
Him from the one lone purpose He determined He would be
The Lamb that God would sacrifice to buy eternity
For those who will to give Him everything now in return
And focus on the scriptures for so much they have to learn
About the life He's building in that Kingdom up above
Established solely on that most enduring Godly love
That changes our tomorrow when we give Him our today
And changes us to be for Him His light upon the Way
That others need most dearly be revealed today to them
That love that changes all we are to be the most like Him
1 John 4:7-21
