I want to be like Jesus

1.

I want to be like Jesus

So lowly and so meek

For no one marked an angry word

That ever heard Him speak

2.

I want to be like Jesus

So frequently in prayer

Alone upon the mountain top

He met His Father there

3.

I want to be like Jesus

I never, never find

That He, though persecuted, was

To any one unkind

4.

I want to be like Jesus

Engaged in doing good

So that of me it may be told

“She hath done what she could”

5.

I want to be like Jesus

Who sweetly said to all

“Let little children come to Me”

I would obey the call

6.

But oh, I’m not like Jesus

As any one may see

Then, gentle Saviour send thy grace

And make me like to Thee
