Im Trying to be Like Jesus

[Verse 1]
I'm tryin' to be like Jesus,
Walkin' in His dusty ways.
I'm tryin' to love like He did,
In every word I say.
Sometimes the road gets temptin',
To choose the wrong ol' trail.
But I listen for that whisper,
The Spirit never fails.

[Chorus]
Love one another like Jesus loves you,
Show kindness down this country mile.
Be gentle and true in all that you do,
For these are the things that make Him smile.
These are the things Jesus taught.

[Verse 2]
I'm tryin' to love my neighbor,
Lend a hand out on the farm.
I'm learnin' to serve my kinfolk,
With an open heart and arm.
I watch for that day of glory,
When Jesus comes ridin' in.
I'll keep followin' His footsteps,
Till I see Him once again.

[Chorus]
Love one another like Jesus loves you,
Show kindness down this country mile.
Be gentle and true in all that you do,
For these are the things that make Him smile.
These are the things Jesus taught.

[Verse 3]
I'm tryin' to forgive like Jesus,
When folks done me wrong somehow.
Let go of the hurt and anger,
Turn the other cheek right now.
I'm tryin' to pray like Jesus,
Down on my knees at night.
Talkin' to my Heavenly Father,
Seekin' His guidin' light.

[Chorus]
Love one another like Jesus loves you,
Show kindness down this country mile.
Be gentle and true in all that you do,
For these are the things that make Him smile.
These are the things Jesus taught.

[Bridge]
I'm tryin' to be like Jesus,
Walkin' in His dusty ways.
I'm tryin' to love like He did,
In every word I say.

...
Im just tryin to be like Him.
...

[Verse 4]
I'm tryin' to share the gospel,
Tell of His love so wide.
Out on these backroad highways,
With the Savior by my side.
I'm tryin' to stand for Jesus,
When the world pulls me away.
Holdin' to truth and righteousness,
Come whatever may.

[Chorus]
Love one another like Jesus loves you,
Show kindness down this country mile.
Be gentle and true in all that you do,
For these are the things that make Him smile.
These are the things Jesus taught.

[Outro]
Love one another like Jesus loves you...
Try to show kindness in all that you do...
These are the things Jesus taught.
