The Emmanuel Quartet: Music

I Want To Be Like My Lord

(Arranged by Joey Davis)

______________________________

This is a fun song that also has a deep, resounding theme for the Christian walk. Our ultimate goal is to be like Jesus, and this song encourages us to emulate Him, even though we didn't walk with Him like the disciples. One of my favorite lines is, "I want to sing to heal the world." That's what I hope The Emmanuel Quartet does with our music. - Phillip

There was a Man, they called Him Jesus
Walked the shores of Galilee
He healed the sick and calmed the waters
Made the blinded eye to see
He raised the dead and cleansed the lepers
Had the power to set men free
But best of all He went to Calvary
Bled and died for you and me

(Chorus)
I want to...walk like Jesus
I want to...talk like Jesus
I want to be just like my Lord
I want to help my fellow man
I want to spread His Holy Word
I want to sing to heal the world
I want to tell the world about His love
I want to...walk like Jesus
I want to...talk like Jesus
I want to be just like my Lord

I wish that I could have been with Him
When He stepped out on the sea
And heard Him say to Simon Peter
"Come my son, and follow Me"
Well soon the dawn will break around us
And His face we shall behold
Oh, what a time we'll have together
Shouting down the streets of gold!

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

I want to...walk like Jesus
I want to...talk like Jesus
I want to be just like my Lord
