Music:

I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus

Words and music by Janice Kapp Perry

With conviction

1. 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,
(Chorus)

2. I’m trying to love my neighbor,
I’m learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness
when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember
the lessons He taught,
then the Holy Spirit
enters into my thoughts,
saying:
(Chorus)

Chorus
“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.” (2. I’m taught.”)
