More Like Jesus

I would be more like Je­sus

Every day;

I would be true and faith­ful

All the way;

I would know what to sing and

What to say

I would know how to list­en—

How to pray.

So I’ll watch and I’ll la­bor

And I’ll pray;

By His grace I will fol­low

All the way;

Then with joy I shall meet Him—

Trials o’er—

And with Him reign for ev­er

Evermore.

I would be kind and gen­tle

Meek and mild;

I would be pure and lov­ing—

His dear child;

I would do good to oth­ers

As He did

I would shed joy and sun­shine

In Him hid.

I would work in His vine­yard

Every day;

Patient

trust­ing

obe­di­ent

Come what may;

I would go where He leads me

By His grace;

Till in glo­ry I see Him

Face to face.
