I want to walk like Jesus did
Beneath this earthly dome
Spreading truth hope and freedom to kin
Until our savior calls us home

I want to spread his gospel news
Of our father’s amazing Grace
And everyone to see the holy Spirit
When they gaze upon my face

I want to be a tailored copy
Of the life that Jesus led
Teaching of the eternal land
Make sure his sheep are fed

I want to be as the faithful Shepherd
Whose heart is pure and true
And tell the story of the mansions
They’ve built for me and you

I want to be like the righteous one
Who has no sweeter name
The Redeemer of all pardons
Hence is why he came

I want to nourish the hungry crowds
Maybe grant a dying wish
Do things that seem impossible
As he did with five loaves and two fish

I want to walk a true Christian Life
Flowing love along the way
And Jesus is the only one
We should edify and portray

But I could never walk like Jesus did
No greater man has no one saw
For when I see the Savior of the cross
From my heart to my knees I shall fall

Untying Knots

Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together? Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway?

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop. One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted shoestring. He grew more anxious by the moment. All of a sudden it was too late. The bus door closed. With tear-filled eyes he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, “Do you untie knots?”

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, “Help!” And when we do, who shows up? Jesus, our next-door Savior. Go ahead, ask him: “Do you untie knots?” “Yes,” he will say.

As We Behold Him

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness…” As we behold him, we become like him.

It’s a principle I experienced first-hand when an opera singer visited our church. He sat right behind me. He tried to contain himself, but how can a tuba hide in a room of piccolos? I was startled. Inspired. Emboldened by his volume. I lifted mine. Did I sing better? No. But did I try harder? No doubt. His power brought the best of me.

Could your world use a little music? If so, invite heaven’s baritone—Jesus Christ—to cut loose. Who knows? A few songs with him might change the way you sing!
