In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Let me awake forever
In the likeness
In the likeness of You

Now I lay me down to sleep
My heart and soul are Yours to keep
I close my eyes and try to see
More of You and less of me

Jesus, I'm trusting in You
So while I'm sleeping
Keep me dreaming
Of when I will awake

In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Resurrected by Your righteousness
In Your likeness
In the likeness of You

Men dream of fortune and fame
Making the rules, naming the game
And men dream of things they can hold
Money and power, silver and gold
Jesus, I'm dreaming of You
Take me and melt me, mold me
Until I am complete

In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Resurrected by Your righteousness
In the likeness of You
In the likeness of You
So faithful and true
Let me awake forever in the likeness of You

The likeness of You
I want to be
I want to be like You
In all I say
In all I do

"A Tu Semejanza"

A tu semejanza,
recreado, renovado,
déjame despertar por siempre
a tu semejanza,
a tu semejanza.

Ahora me acuesto para dormir,
y tu guardaras mi corazón y mi alma.
Cierro los ojos y trato de ver
mas de ti y menos de mi...

Jesús, confió en Ti.
Mientras duermo,
haz que sueñe
con lo que será el despertar.

A tu semejanza,
recreado, renovado,
resucitado por tu justicia,
a tu semejanza,
a tu semejanza.

Los hombres sueñan con fama y fortuna,
con dictar las reglas, dominar el juego.
Los hombres sueñan con cosas que puedan tocar.
Dinero y poder, plata y oro.
Jesús, yo sueño contigo.
Tómame, fúndeme, moldéame,
hasta que este completo.
A tu semejanza,
recreado, renovado,
resucitado por tu justicia.
A tu semejanza,
a tu semejanza.
Fiel y Verdadero,
Déjame despertar por siempre a tu semejanza.

A tu semejanza quiero ser.
Quiero ser como tu,
en todo lo que diga,
en todo lo que haga.

[TheLili30]

Very beautiful song- came from heaven! There was a time I had depression, and before sleeping I prayed to God to help me. During the night I had a dream that I was listening this song. When I woke up, I was crying, God was touching my life so strongly, and kept listening this song, my soul was cured. I knew that God was talking to me. God bless Petra forever.

amen brother!!

[MrGiantkiller33]

Remember what the Apostle Paul said, in Philippians 1:6, being confident in this (one) thing, that (HE) who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it, until the Day of JESUS Christ." We learn 2 things. 1.) HE(GOD) began the work. 2. HE will be Faithful to complete th e work, not us. 3.) Until the day of JESUS Christ., meaning until JESUS returns.

GOD will keep working on us, for HE knows were not perfect, only HE is perfect.

[Razorzzful]

I love this song & this band. *Looking forward to His return*. I love You, Lord. Thank You, Precious Savior, for dying on the cross for an undeserving, bratty sinner like me. Unworthy, but worth something in Your eyes, Oh Lord. <3 You always. In Your glorious name I pray, Amen. =)

@RobinHobbit I stand corrected, thank you. Sounds similar to me. Guess they both could really soar vocally!

@pnutbutrncrackers This isn't Greg. This is John Schlitt.
