Be Like Me

Before I created Adam,
I desired a family;
I wanted children of My own,
So they'd look and act like Me.

I was very pleased with Adam...
So proud to have a son;
His sense of humor made Me smile,
And together, we had fun.

I enjoyed our conversations,
When we talked under a tree;
I delighted in him so much
From questions he asked Me.

I taught him how to live...
Thoughts to think, and things to say;
He was a happy man,
Since the Word was with him every day.

Adam loved his life.
Everything to him was brand new;
He loved Me with a pure heart,
And did all he was told to do.

When he needed Me, he'd call,
And I'd be there by his side;
Sometimes, I wanted to play,
And when he'd call, I would hide.

Adam loved to be with Me.
For a while, I was all he knew;
His thoughts and words were like My own,
And My dream for man came true.

You're to imitate My ways -
Think big, and live like kings;
Speak your desires into existence.
Receive what your words brings.

By spending time with the Word,
Loving and holy is who you'll be;
This life instruction manual,
Will help you become like Me.
