Love Like Jesus

 
Em 
I once knew a man, who never raised His voice 
C 
Didn't chase the crowd, didn't need the noise 
G 
He'd sit with the sinners, quiet in the shade 
D/F# 
Eyes full of fire but His soul never swayed 
 

 
Em 
The world pushed hard, tried to shake His frame 
C 
But He held that beasts, like a man with no name 
G 
Didn't run from the dark or the weight of the fight 
D/F# 
Carried love like a torch through the coldest night 
 

 
Em 
I've seen men talk loud, act tough get wild 
C 
But there's something in the choir wants the beast to smile 
G 
He didn't fight back when the world through stones 
D/F# 
Just carried that cross, walked it all alone 
 

 
G 
I want a love like Jesus, steady and a fire 
C 
Whole like Jesus even when they lie 
G 
Forgive like Jesus even when it hurts 
D/F# 
Give like Jesus, never askin' what it's worth 

G 
Not just a name, not just a preacher 
C 
But a man who walked what He believed in deeper 
G 
In a world gone loud and wrong and vicious 
D/F# 
I just wanna be a little more like Jesus 
 

 
Em 
He heals without a payment, sad with the lost 
C 
Spoke truth to the proud, took nails for the cross 
G 
Didn't run from the pain or the shame or the trial 
D/F# 
Wasn't lookin' for revenge, just mercy and a smile 
 

 
Em 
He washed feet, broke bread, shared wine with His folks 
C 
Saw through the mass, yeah, He always knows 
G 
But He never pointed fingers, never made demands 
D/F# 
Just opened up His arms and stretched out His hands 
 

 
Em 
This ain't just a song, it's a mirror and a flame 
C 
A quiet little whisper callin' out my name 
G 
Not just who I preach but who I become 
D/F# 
'Cause bein' a man ain't just muscle and a gun 
 

 
Em 
I want a love like Jesus, steady and a fire 
C 
Whole like Jesus even when they lie 
G 
Forgive like Jesus even when it hurts 
D/F# 
Give like Jesus, never askin' what it's worth 

Em 
Not just a name, not just a preacher 
C 
But a man who walked what He believed in deeper 
G 
In a world gone loud and wrong and vicious 
D/F# 
I just wanna be a little more like Jesus 
 
Em               C                                       G 
          Yeah,       He never needed to prove it 
             D/F#      G 
He just lived it
