Live a life filled with love,
following the example of Christ
(Ephesians 5:2; NLT).
1. Lord Jesus,
My example,
Help me to grow like you,
By treating all my feelings
With love, just as you do.
2. Lord Jesus,
My Rabboni,
Help me to grow like you,
By changing each judgemental thought
Into the love that’s due.
3. Lord Jesus,
My Messiah,
Help me to grow like you,
By saying everything with love,
And making sure it’s true.
4. Lord Jesus,
My Salvation,
Help me to grow like you,
By doing everything with love:
May your life be my cue.
