8-11-13 Being Like You (1. Corinthians 4:16) By LeVar E. Jones

Lord I want to be like you, but tell me how can I be?
For you are perfect, and there isn't a perfect bone in me.
Lord my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak,
and satan clouds my judgement, everytime you try to speak
I want to be like you, but I'm so full of sin
Who or what should I blame, do I blame what lies within?
Am I not worthy, do my sin keep me trapped?
is it cause I don't pray like I should, or cause I listen to rap?
Is it cause I curse Lord, is it cause my mind lust?
can you deliver me, even though sometimes I lack in trust
is it cause I have an attitude, is it cause I lie?
is it cause I walk in darkness and darkness blinds my eyes?
Lord I want to be like you, but where do I start?
First I'll ask forgiveness and ask you to cleanse my heart.
I know you died for me, I know that I'm saved,
but I have no time for you, and all the wrong things are praised
is it cause I'm arrogant,is it because I boast?
is it cause I brag, and it's your word I need most.
I don't know the love of my family can get me through.
You're the only one I need that's why I'm leaning on you.
You are my help, no other help will do,
because other help will only make me look like a fool
Please help me Lord, before it gets too late
It's you who I want to be like, it's you I want to imitate!
