To Be Like Christ He Suffered Why Can'T I

I await to meet Him in the sky
Raptured up, by and by
I await to see my Lord
See His face eye to eye
If Jesus suffered, then why can't I
This is truly what it's meant to be Christ like
As I believe in my heart that I can make a different
No suffering, no glory
If I want to be like Christ
I must be...
In suffering, no glory
No suffering no crown
I must go through, I must leave tribulations
If I'm to own a mansion in heaven
