Live A Life Like Christ

Lyrics

I was seventeen with dust on my boots,
Trying to prove I had nothing to lose.
Thought being a man meant never backing down,
Till You showed me strength wears a servant's crown.

You met me in the silence,
You called me by my name.
Turned my pride into surrender,
And I'll never be the same.

You taught these hands
To build instead of break.
You taught this heart
To give more than it takes.

I wanna live a life like Christ,
Love with mercy,
Lead with light.
Stand for truth when nobody stands.
Lift the weak with open hands.

Be the man my children need,
The husband she'll believe.
Leave this world a little more like Heaven
Every day You breathe through me.

Lord, let every step,
Every choice,
Every heartbeat testify...
I wanna live a life like Christ.

Someday she'll walk into my life,
Not by chance,
But by Your design.
I'll hold her close when storms roll in,
Pray beside her through thick and thin.

I'll tell her she's beautiful
When her hair turns gray.
Love her more than yesterday.
Not because she's perfect,
But because You loved me first,
And that's the promise that she's worth.

When I'm wrong,
Give me humble words.
When she's hurting,
Help me love her first.

I wanna live a life like Christ,
Love with mercy,
Lead with light.
Hold her heart with gentle hands,
Point her always to Your plans.

Raise our babies in Your truth.
Teach them grace in all they do.
May they see their father's faith
Long before they hear him say...

Live a life like Christ.

Bless my mama.
Honor Dad.
Forgive the friends I've never had.
Love the stranger by the road.
Help me carry someone else's load.

When success comes knocking,
Keep me on my knees.
When I'm broken,
Be my peace.

Make forgiveness my first response.
Let compassion be my song.
If anyone remembers me,
Let it be because they saw...

Jesus.

I wanna live a life like Christ,
Till the day I close my eyes.
Love my wife with all I am,
Lead my family hand in hand.

Be a light inside the dark.
Keep Your Spirit in my heart.
If my story points to Yours,
Then I've lived for something more.

Lord, every breath,
Every dream,
Every mile until I die...

I wanna live a life...
Like Christ.

When I finally make it home,
I pray they'll say,
"He loved us well...
Because he followed Jesus."
