Just Like Me

by Kaci Rigney

If all Christians were just like me,
Would we pray without ceasing?
Would Your holy will be done?
Would our character be pleasing?
Would joy be in our song?
Would others want to sing along
If all Christians were just like me?

If all Christians were just like me,
Would the world know that Jesus cares?
Would Your church be filled with fire?
Or would church be filled with empty chairs?
Would the Bible be so much as read?
Would the hungry in the world be fed
If all Christians were just like me?

If all Christians were just like me,
Would we worship You on bended knee?
Would the world want what they see?
Or would they see hypocrisy?
Would our hearts and hands together raise?
Would Your name be only said in praise
If all Christians were just like me?

Would the people believe?
Would Your truth be received?
I wonder what the world would see.
Would they see You
If all Christians were just like me?
