Lyrics

Grow like Je­sus, He is love,
He is pure and ho­ly;
You may be like Christ ab­ove,
Though your life be low­ly.

Refrain

Grow like Je­sus day by day,
He is ev­er near you;
Look to Je­sus, watch and pray,
He de­lights to hear you.

Grow like Je­sus, He is kind,
Patient, sweet, and ten­der;
None who seek Him fail to find,
He is our de­fend­er.

Refrain

Grow like Je­sus, shine for Him,
As the stars for­ev­er;
Never let your light grow dim,
He will fail you ne­ver.
