I want to do what Jesus would do.
I want to do what Jesus would do.
I fall short of His glory each day.
Though I may try, I can’t walk His Way.
I fall short in each deed, word, and thought.
Though I may try, o’rcome I cannot.
How can I know what Jesus would do?
How can I do what Jesus would do?
Only if He reveals it to me.
Only if He is living in me.
Only when He my whole being fills
Only when I submit to His will.
Only when I to self fully die.
Only when I to Christ am alive.
I shall know just what Jesus would do.
I shall do just what Jesus would do.
It will be Him who does it in me.
And I from sin will then be set free.
Even right now I stand in His glow,
I find His life in some measure flows.
Stand in His presence now Oh my soul.
His Spirit will transform and make whole.
Lord, now I pray: each day, ever more
Cause me to seek and enter this Door.
Though my sin is forgiven, it’s true,
I want to do what Jesus would do.
Yet, I fall short of His glory each day,
Though I may try, I can’t walk His Way.
I fall short in each deed, word, and thought.
Though I may try, succeed I cannot.
How can I do what Jesus would do?
Or even know what Jesus would do?
Line upon line bring me closer still
Transforming me each day to Thy will.
Faith unto faith, and higher in Thee,
Pressing on in, new glories I see.
Not by my might, nor power from me,
But only by Your Spirit, so free.
Until You, Christ, formed fully within,
No more of me, and cleansed from all sin.
