002 We All Want to be Like God

We are drawn to what is holy
We long to be divine
We strive to be our maker
And to live as we define

But only He is holy
There’s only one I Am
For Babylon is fallen
And the tower will not stand

We all want to be like God
We all want to be like God
We all want to be like God
Whether we like Him or not
But the only way to do it
The only way to life
Is not the flesh pursusing
But the Spirit of Christ

We sought it back in eden
We took and ate the fruit
Reaching for His likeness
Then hiding from His view

But the very thing we longed for
The very thing we craved
We clawed for in the garden
But on the cross He gave

Destroying what divides us
And rending flesh and blood
He raised us in His likeness
Uniting us as one

With ever growing glory
We gaze on Him by faith
He shapes us to His likeness
Until we see His face

Then we’ll be like God
Then we’ll be like God
Then we’ll be like God
And we’ll like Him a lot
But the only way to do it
The only way to life
Is not the flesh pursusing
But the Spirit of Christ
