1. O I want to live like Jesus,
Ev’ry day and ev’ry hour,
Like my tender, loving Lord I want to be;
All His precepts I would follow,
And His footsteps I would trace,
As He walked upon the shores of Galilee. (of Galilee.)
Chorus:
Jesus-like (Jesus-like) I want to be, (I want to be,)
More, dear Savior, more like Thee, (I want to be,)
This my glory, (this my glory, this my glory,) this my plea (this my glory and my plea,)
Jesus-like I want to be.
2. O I want to pray like Jesus,
In the quiet hour apart,
In submission to the Father’s loving will;
For the joy, the peace and power,—
For the daily grace I need,
That the Father’s will in me He may fulfill. (He may fulfill.)
3. O I want to love like Jesus,
With compassion deep and true,
Giving self to help another day by day;
Lifting up the sad and weary,
Whisp’ring words of hope and cheer,
Leading others to the “Light, the Truth, the Way.” (the Truth, the Way.)
