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.

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

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.
