More about Lisa Bradshaw:
Since a young age, I have loved listening to, performing, and creating music. I have co-written most of my music with my mother, Shirley Riley, who passed away a few years ago. She was a very talented lyricist and poet as well as musician and I miss her dearly. I have also collaborated with a very talented lyricist and singer, Tim Dalton Morganson, on many children's songs that you will find on this website. We hope you enjoy using them! I have a music degree from Utah State University, served a Spanish speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to San Diego, Ca., and taught full-time Seminary at Bingham and Clearfield High schools. I currently have a piano studio in my home and continue to write music. My husband and I have 5 beautiful children and 6 darling grandsons.
Song background:

Repentance is a happy thing! What a blessing it is to be able to be forgiven of our shortcomings and overcome them through Jesus Christ. This is a children's song that teaches the gifts of forgiiness when we are willing to repent.

Lyrics: I Try to Be Like Jesus

I try to be like Jesus each and every day.
But sometimes in my efforts,
my mistakes get in the way.
No, I’m not always as good as I know how to be,
But when I’m truly sorry,
Forgiveness sets me free.

The Savior said, “Come, follow me”,
His love He gives to all.
And even though I make mistakes
He’ll lift me when I fall.
So, I’ll partake of the Sacrament
Each week with humble heart.
Forgiveness is a gift from God,
Repentance is my part.

I try to live like Jesus in everything I do,
Obey, be kind, serve others,
And live a life that’s true.
And yet, at times, my weakness has made my heart to break.
But Jesus said He’d help me
Turn weakness into strength.

The Savior said, “Come, follow me”,
His love He gives to all.
And even though I make mistakes
He’ll lift me when I fall.
So, I’ll partake of the Sacrament
Each week with humble heart.
Forgiveness is a gift from God,
Repentance is my part.
