I’m Learning the Ways of Jesus

Words and music by Janice Kapp Perry

Happily 104–116

1. I’m learning each day to be caring and kind.

I think of good deeds in my heart and my mind.

I try ev’ry day to give love away.

I’m learning the ways of Jesus.

So if I see someone who’s lost or afraid,

I’ll offer to help. That’s a choice I have made.

Or if I see someone who just needs a friend,

I’ll speak to them kindly and spend time with them.

I try ev’ry day to give love away.

I’m learning the ways of Jesus.

2. I’m learning each day to be friendly and fair.

I try to help others; I willingly share.

I try ev’ry day to give love away.

I’m learning the ways of Jesus.

So if I see someone who can’t walk or run,

I’ll think of some ways I can help them have fun.

Or if I see someone who can’t see or hear,

I’ll tell them that I’ll be their eyes or their ears.

I try ev’ry day to give love away.

I’m learning the ways of Jesus.
