Lyrics

I Just Want to Take After You
Parody of "I Just Want to Make Love to You" performed by Foghat and written by Willie Dixon
(Ephesians 5:1-2; Matthew 5:48; Romans 8:29; Philippians 2:5-10; 1 John 2:6, 3:2-3)

I don't want to ... look like Brad
I don't want to be ... paid like that
I don't want huge movie crews
I just wanna take after You, yeah

I don't want to get ... The Beatles' fame
I don't want to have ... the world's most dames
I don't want some groovy status group
I just wanna take after You, yeah

I could tell right away, naturally, we should walk
Like Ephesians 5:1 says, imitating God
I can tell 5:48 Matthew is Your command
I would love to obey it, so I'll try and change

I don't want to ... squash my foes
I don't want to get ... beach-front homes
I don't wanna join ... Mötley Crüe
I just wanna take after You, yeah

I know one truth — Jesus saves
I hold on to the ... Word God gave
I will watch You ... pull me through
I trust Romans 8:29

I just wanna take after You

Ephesians 5:1-2
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
