[b]I WOULD BE LIKE JESUS[/b]
[i]Words: James Rowe, 1911.[/i]

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

Refrain

Be like Jesus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus, all day long!
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.

Refrain

All the way from earth to glory,
I would be like Jesus;
Telling o’er and o’er the story,
I would be like Jesus.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

The scripture that inspired this chorus is: “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:2

[b]Nothing worldly shall enthrall me[/b]

Oh may that be our cry each and every morning. May Christ be our glorious treasure anew each morning that we set our affections upon.
