Have faith in God –
Acknowledge Christ His Son;
Have faith in God –
For us the crown is won;
Have faith in God –
And heaven is begun.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.

I Would Be Like Jesus

James Rowe, 1865-1933

    For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29.

I may not understand, LORD, but one day I shall see
Thy loving hand was taking pains to fashion me like Thee.
~Author Unknown~

Earthly pleasures vainly call me;
I would be like Jesus;
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me;
I would be like Jesus!

He has broken every fetter,
I would be like Jesus;
That my soul may serve Him better,
I would be like Jesus!

All the way from earth to glory,
I would be like Jesus;
Telling over and over the story,
I would be like Jesus!

That in heaven He may meet me,
I would be like Jesus;
That His words “Well done” may greet me,
I would be like Jesus!

Chorus:
Be like Jesus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus, all day long!
I would be like Jesus!
