I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus - Mormon Guitar

I’ve always loved this song. I think it is simple and pure. I was able to record this the night before I returned that 60 year old Martin guitar I’m playing to its owner. It’s been a real treat to play it for the last month. It felt like an old soul. And like this song, it had a simple and pure tone. I’m glad I was able to record this with it. I hope we’re all trying to be like Jesus. It’s easy to assume Jesus would act a certain way when we’re thinking about it hypothetically. But since every situation is different, I think it’s hard to know until we’re in a situation where we really need to ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” I hope we can pause and ask ourselves how would the Savior would act if he were us right now. I’m not perfect at doing that. I have a bad habit of asking that question after the fact. But I hope that one day it will become so natural that we won’t even have to ask. We’ll already know. ----------------- I’m trying to be like Jesus; I’m following in his ways. I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say. At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice, But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers, “Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, For these are the things Jesus taught.” I’m trying to love my neighbor; I’m learning to serve my friends. I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again. I try to remember the lessons he taught. Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying: “Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, For these are the things Jesus taught.” -------- Download this song on iTunes: http://apple.co/1MZPu23 Download free TAB at http://www.mormonguitar.com/ Mormon Guitar is my little project to write original arrangements of LDS hymns and primary music every month. At the beginning of each month, friends and family tell me what song I should do next. I then arrange it, transcribe it, video myself playing it and video myself teaching you how to play it. New arrangements are posted the first day of each month. And of course everything on this site is free. _____________________________________ Download the Mormon Guitar Albums on iTunes: http://apple.co/1WRvWDh Buy the Mormon Guitar CDs at Deseret Book: http://bit.ly/1HY4n2t Like on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1r0Tyo3 Free TAB: http://bit.ly/mormonguitartab _____________________________________ More songs at http://www.mormonguitar.com/ Download the free TABs, watch a video lesson on how to play it, and learn more about how I came up with the arrangement at http://www.mormonguitar.com
