Ron Block Let Me Be You
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I walked along the world’s end to a river on a hill
A Man who beckoned there said these words to me
“If you’ve done it to the least of these you’ve done it
unto Me.”
I turned my look to those who stood beyond the One in
white
One caught my gaze I’d turned away from my door one
night
He’d begged me for some bread, I turned away to sleep
“If you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done
it unto Me.”
Chorus:
I’m not loving the way that I want to
I’m not living today as I would do
Why can’t I find it?
It feels like I’m blinded
Where’s the living love in me to live like You?
I try to be what You are to me, but I just can’t be You
I hung my head before the Lord who lives within my
heart
He said, “Dear one, I’ve just begun to show you who you
are
You’re trying, oh so hard, to do what I must do
You’re a riverbed for Love to roll on through
You can’t ever be like Me, so just let Me be you.”
“You can love with the love that I give you
You can live with the living that is true
Cry with the crying
Die with the dying
You’re a riverbed for love to roll on through
You can’t ever be like Me, so just let Me be you.”
“You can love with the love that I give you
You can live with the living that is true
Cry with the crying
Die with the dying
You’re a riverbed for love”
