Ross King Like Jesus
[Verse 1]
I wanna be like Him when He flips a table
I wanna be like Him when He swings a whip
I wanna be like Him when He kills a fig tree just by cursin' it
I wanna be like Him when He tells the Pharisees the depth of their own sin
But I don't really wanna be like Jesus, later
When He dies for them
[Verse 2]
I wanna be like Him when He's at a party makin' magic top-shelf booze
I wanna be like Him lookin' down at Mary, His feet drenched in perfumе
Or when He's ridin' on a donkey, pеople shoutin', "Bless the Lord Most High"
But I don't really wanna be like Jesus
When all those people change their minds
[Chorus]
I refuse to pick and choose
The parts of Jesus that are easiest
To bow down to
And I won't use
His name in vain to prove
Who I want Him to be
That's just idolatry
I wanna be like Jesus
I don't want Him to be like me
[Verse 3]
I wanna be like Him when He's on a storm-tossed boat, sleepin' like a babe
I wanna be like Him when He tells a storm to hush and it obeys
I wanna be like Him knockin' down those soldiers just by sayin', "I am He"
But not so much the part right after when He surrenders peacefully
[Chorus]
I refuse to pick and choose
The parts of Jesus that are easiest
To bow down to
And I won't use
His name in vain to prove
Who I want Him to be
That's just idolatry
I wanna be like Jesus
I don't want Him to be like me
[Bridge]
If God agrees all the time with me
I can always do what comes naturally
I had to made excuses when the truth is
The truth might not be on my side
I might not be right
[Verse 4]
I like it when He says the weary can come to Him and rest
But when He talks about forgivin' folks seventy-seven times I like it less
I believe Him when He says He'll bless me for all the insults I endure
Then He says let somebody punch me twice and I am not so sure
[Chorus]
I refuse to pick and choose
The parts of Jesus that are easiest
To bow down to
And I won't use
His name in vain to prove
Who I want Him to be
That's just idolatry
I wanna be like Jesus
I don't want Him to be like me
[Outro]
I wanna be like Jesus
I don't want Him to be like me
