Songs For the Journey ~ "I Want to be Like Jesus"

I know that it is God's purpose and plan to make a people in his own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). This means he is presently working to transform us "into the same image" as Jesus Christ "from one degree of glory to another" (II Corinthians 3:18). 

While God will carry this work on to completion by his own initiative and effort (Philippians 1:6), he also works in us to give us the hunger and thirst to experience such righteousness as his grace provides (Matthew 5:6). 

This song is a sing-along expression of this desire to be like Jesus. No matter how much God must change us to make us like his Son (he knows this better than we could ever imagine), we can join his work by praying for the greatest experience of his work every day of our lives.

One day, we will be just like Jesus when we see him as he is (I John 3:2). In the meantime, we can pray for today's "degree of glory" to be fulfilled in our lives as fully as possible in our Lord Jesus Christ.
