In the Image of God I Was Made

In the Image of God You made me
But that image was marred, destroyed
And Christ came to redeem that image
So that I will be made like Him

In the image of God You made me
Not so that I will live for self
Not so that I will do my will 
Or waste time doing my own pleasure

In the image of God You made me
That like Christ I will look and act
You are love and I love must radiate
And love You and love others much 

In the image of God You made me
You’re longsuffering, patient, kind
You are lowly in heart and meek 
And like Christ I must look, like Christ

In the image of God You made me
And myself I deny, my will
And I take up my cross, Christ follow
For Christ lives now His life through me.

Without Christ, the image of God is distorted in us. We are by nature self-centered, proud, selfish, and often judgmental and defensive…
