Striving ~
Every day Lord,
I strive to be like You
every day I pray . . .
Your love will shine through.
Every day I venture,
to be gentle and kind
every day I try . . .
to have peace of mind.
Every day Lord,
I search to find Your will
every day I ask . . .
for the wisdom to be still.
Every day I endeavor,
to study Your Word
every day I attempt . . .
to follow what I’ve heard.
Every day Lord,
I strive to be more like You
every day I challenge myself
to do what You would do!

I Shall Want ~
I shall not want,
and yet I do . . .
for Jesus I want
more of You.
I have this need,
to know You more
that really is all
I am asking for.
I know just where,
I should look
for I can find You
in the Good Book.
There You give me,
all that I need
when on Your word
I study and read.
I shall not want,
and yet I do . . .
for Jesus I want
to be more like You!

If I Were Like My Master ~
If I were like my Master . . .
I would walk miles in the sand
I’d take away someone’s burden
lend another a helping hand.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d be gracious and merciful too
I would comfort my ailing brother
show a lost sister what to do.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d walk upon the turbulent sea
I would safely reach my destination
encouraging others to follow me.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d be no longer battle sin
I would show other’s compassion
and their souls to God, I’d win.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d see the hungry people to feed
I would take and offer what I had
giving them more than they need.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d spread the Good News all around
I would speak of God’s forgiveness
how in Jesus new life can be found.
If I were like my Master . . .
I’d have a spirit of servitude
humility and meekness
would always be my attitude!
