I want to be more like Jesus

I was listening to Keith Green's "I want to be more like Jesus through out the journey from Bt Panjang to Town and at one point I almost broke down when Keith sang "I get so weary worn..." and "I'm tired of planting seeds..." No I am not tired of serving the Lord in R-age. But I was re-examining my objectives and my motivation. It was a mixture of emotions. I know I am doing for the glory of God, but at times I felt like I am doing for myself to show how much I know. I have to constantly hide behind the cross so that Christ will be THE objective and THE motivation. Failing to do so causes me to crucify myself so that the old-self in me will die and let the spirit of God reign in my heart. I really want to and need to be more like Jesus. "My soul is so thirsty, I cannot endure it. If I can't get closer, I surely will die..."

As each day passes by
I feel my love run dry
I get so weary, worn
And tossed around in the storm
Well I'm blind to other's needs
And I'm tired of planting seeds
I seem to have a wealth of so many thoughts about myself

I want to, I need to be more like Jesus
I want to, I need to be more like Him
