Thro’ all the chang­ing scenes of life,
I want to be more like Je­sus!
In strength or weak­ness, peace or strife,
I want to be more like Je­sus!

Refrain

More, more like Je­sus, I would ev­er be;
More, more like Je­sus,
I want to be more like Je­sus.

As from His word I dai­ly read,
I want to be more like Je­sus!
For grace and pa­tience is my need,
I want to be more like Je­sus!

Refrain

When cross­es weigh my spir­it down,
I want to be more like Je­sus!
And when, by faith, I view my crown,
I want to be more like Je­sus!

Refrain

When by temp­ta­tions tossed about,
I want to be more like Je­sus!
When sink­ing in the sea of doubt,
I want to be more like Je­sus!

Refrain

While I can sing, my song shall be:
I want to be more like Je­sus!
And thro’ a long eter­ni­ty,
I want to be more like Je­sus!

Refrain
