It really is a great song.
There is a popular Contemporary Christian song called "I Want To Be
Just Like You". The basic idea is a father praying to God that he will
lead a strong Christian life because he knows that his little boy is
watching closely. The main line in the song is "Lord, I want to be
just like you, cause he wants to be like me". Powerful stuff.
Great post Elyce!
