Love, love this song. At a VIP experience earlier this year, I had the opportunity to tell Zach how much this song meant. To me. We often get caught up in being “me”. When we should want “a little more like “Jesus”, a little less like – me”.

And it’s actually easy to do. Think outside. Outside your circle. We can do big. We can do little. For others. A smile. An “I appreciate you” to the waitress. An “I Thank You for what your doing” – to the Dr. To the nurse. To the Chemotherapy technician. A quick friendly conversation with a stranger. My cancer has put me into a world where too many people struggle. Struggle to smile. Struggle to find joy. Struggle to find peace. Struggle to keep faith. I get it. It’s hard. Hearing you have way less life left than you planned. It’s tough. But I wont be that. I want to drip with peace. Overflow with joy. I want to think outside – me. Jesus had 33 years. Period. 33. Then he was done on earth. But he didn’t focus on that. He didn’t focus on the end. He focused on the time between now and then. Who could He touch. Who could He encourage. Who could He minister to. There were many that needed Him. If He would have focused on the agonizing death He would experience – in 33 years. It would have been different. For so many. But He thought outside. So for me, my hope – A Little More Like Jesus, A Little Less Like Me. Works. Works just fine.

Read the lyrics. Focus on what the words are saying. Then listen below.

Less Like Me by Zach Williams

… Oh, I have days I lose the fight
Try my best but just don’t get it right
Where I talk a talk that I don’t walk
And miss the moments right before my eyes

… Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Lord, help me be

… A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me

… Yeah, there’s no denying I have changed
‘Cause I’ve been saved from who I used to be
But even at my best, I must confess
I still need help to see the way You see

… Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Lord, help me be

… A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me

… Oh, I wanna feed the beggar on the street
Learn to be Your hands and feet
Freely give what I receive
Lord, help me be
I want put You first above all else
Love my neighbor as myself
In the moments no one sees
Lord, help me be
(One, two, three)

… A little more like mercy, a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience, a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus, oh, a little less like me

… A little more of living everything I preach
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me
Oh, a little less like me
