1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;

     G            C       D7       /

I’m following in his ways.

At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,

        C       Bm               Am7       D7

But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

[Chorus]

 G                 G7         C                 G

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.

C                G                 A7              D7

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

     G              G7          C                  Cm

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

       G                   D7                C        G

For these are the things Jesus taught.”

2. I’m trying to love my neighbor;

      G              C              D7       /

I’m learning to serve my friends.

  G                  G7       C    Am             G              C         B7      /

I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.

 Em        Bm               C               Bm

I try to remember the lessons he taught.

               C      Bm               Am7     D7

Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

[Chorus]
