13451. More Like Jesus

1 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.

Refrain:
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.

2 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. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]
