Even though I try my best to be a good example of what a christian should be, please don't look at me for the example because I'll only let you down. Look at Jesus.

As I've walked this christian road I've learned that I'm far from who I want to be and that I'm in no position to judge others. Though I try my best to be the "good" christian, I so often stumble and my old nature rises up like a beast, and I realize again how thankful I am for the blood of Christ that covers me. I hope that as you watch me live my life it will give you a desire to have what I've found; a new life in Christ. But I also ask you to not base your decision on whether or not to follow Christ by looking at me and what I do, because I will let you down. Christians are human and FAR from perfect, but most of us are trying our best, so I ask you to please understand this and realize that you can't base the biggest decision of your life on our example. Jesus is THE example...... look at Him, He will never let you down.

DON'T LOOK AT ME
©2008 Duane Rod

I remember, a long time ago
Starting this walk down the Christian road
Looking for someone to lead me along
And show me the difference from right and wrong

I read The Word and it seemed pretty clear
The message was simple, I had nothing to fear
If I lay it all down, and give Him my heart
He'd give me new life, a brand new start

But trying to learn by the example of others
I set my eyes on my sisters and brothers
Here's what I learned, please understand
And set your eyes on Jesus and not on man.

Chorus
Don't look at me, don't look at me
I'll only disillusion, and cause confusion
So if it's Jesus, you're wanting to see
Look up to God, but don't look at me

Please don't misunderstand what I say
I'll be here for you along the way
If it's perfection you're wanting to see
Look at Jesus, but don't look at me
