Lyrics
Like Them
Copyright, Faye A. Eller, 6/3/03
Inspired by the poem, What I Know by Stephen Eller, 9/17/01
1.
I?m like Paul on Damascus Road
But I don?t know if I can carry the load
Like Him
I?m like Joseph in Egypt?s jail
But I don?t know that I?ll get out on bail
Like Him
I?m like John in the desert lands
But I don?t know that I can walk the sands
Like Him, like Him, like Him
Chorus 1.
I?m blinded by your holiness
I?m persecuted for your cause
But, I?m different than the rest
I just can?t be like them
Cause You made me unique
So what are You gonna do with me?
2.
I?m like David, the Jewish king
But I don?t know that I can dance and sing
Like him
I?m like the man at Bethesda pool
But I don?t know if I can rise and walk
Like him
I?m like Nehemiah, fixing walls
But I don?t know that I can build at all
Like him, like him, like him
Chorus 2.
So I?m coming to praise your name
I?m waiting to hear your voice
I just can?t be like them
I just don?t have that choice
Cause You made me unique
So what are You gonna do with me?
