More Like Jesus Would I Be

More like Je­sus would I be

Let my Sav­ior dwell with me;

Fill my soul with peace and love—

Make me gen­tle as a dove;

More like Je­sus

while I go

Pil­grim in this world be­low;

Poor in spir­it would I be;

Let my Sav­ior dwell in me.

If He hears the ra­ven’s cry

If His ev­er watch­ful eye

Marks the spar­rows when they fall

Surely He will hear my call:

He will teach me how to live

All my sin­ful thoughts for­give;

Pure in heart I still would be—

Let my Sav­ior dwell in me.

More like Je­sus when I pray

More like Je­sus day by day

May I rest me by His side

Where the tran­quil wa­ters glide.

Born of Him through grace re­newed

By His love my will sub­dued

Rich in faith I still would be—

Let my Sav­ior dwell in me.
