This is a song off of the CD we used during Vacation Bible School. The curriculum was "Saddle Ridge Ranch" by Lifeway Worship. The resource materials included accompaniment tracks for the songs (i.e., no vocals, just the instrumentation). This accompaniment track for a song called "Like Jesus" caught my ear. The full song with the kids singing along is really nice, too, but just as an instrumental I thought it was beautiful, and it sparked beautiful pictures in my head. I often get perturbed by YouTube videos that take a song and just plaster random pretty pictures to go along with it, but that's exactly what I am doing this time. However, since I am not including the vocals and the lyrics, I guess that's OK. I also usually stay away from all the fancy transitions and special effects, since I find them to be distracting, but here I am using fancy transitions and special effects. It's not so bad as long as you stay away from the spinners and pinwheels and explosions. I tried to keep it subtle. The song happens to be called "Like Jesus". The pictures I chose don't really go directly with that notion, but that was not my intent. However, on some level Jesus is connected to all of these pictures. The song was written by Jeff Slaughter, who writes almost all of the songs for the Lifeway Worship VBS programs. I think he just wrote the words, which are not included here. I think Barney Robertson gets credit for the musical arrangement. Thank you guys!
