I'm Bbtrying to bFe like JEbesusEbm;

But I Ebtry to lDmisten as the sCm7till small F7voice whispers,
[Chorus 1]
"BbLove one anoBb7ther as JesEbus loves you.Bb  
EbTry to show kBbindness in alC7l that you F7do.
Be Bbgentle and lBb7oving in Ebdeed and in Ebmthought,
For Bbthese are the F7things Jesus EbtaugBbht."
[Verse 2]
I'm Bbtrying to lFove my nEbeighEbmbor;
I'm Bblearning to sEberve my F7friends.
I Bbwatch for the Bb7day of glEbadnesCms when JesBbus will come Ebagain.D7  
I Gmtry to reDmmember the Eblessons he tDmaught.
Then the EbHoly SDmpirit enters iCm7nto my tF7houghts, saying:
[Chorus 2]
"BbLove one anoBb7ther as EbJesus loves Bbyou.
EbTry to show kBbindness in alC7l that you F7do.
Be Bbgentle and Bb7loving in Ebdeed and in tEbmhought,
For Bbthese are the tF7hings Jesus EbtaugBbht."
