More Like Jesus

[Verse 1: Sheila Lakin]
To emulate my mother is fine
To imitate my sister sometimes
To accomplish what my brother has achieved
I would rather be more like Thee

[Chorus: (Sheila Lakin) & New Life Community Choir]
(It's my desire to be more like Thee)
I just want to be more like Thee
(I want to walk, I want to talk like He talked)
Oh I want to be more
(I want to pray like Jesus prayed each and everyday)
Oh I want to be more (be more like You)

[Verse 2: Sheila Lakin]
To win a Grammy one day
To see my name in lights on Broadway, on Broadway, yeah
Thеse things don't really matter to mе
I would rather be more like Thee

[Chorus: (Sheila Lakin) & NLCC]
(I've gotta love my fellow man, Lord, I've got to lend a helping hand)
Oh, I want to be more
(I've got to stay holy, but Lord You've got to show me)
Oh, I want to be more, oh be more like Thee

[Bridge: (Sheila Lakin) & NLCC]
Use me for Thy service each day
(Every way) Every way
(Lord Jesus I pray) Lord, I pray

[Vamp: (Sheila Lakin) & NLCC]
Walk like Jesus walked
Talk like Jesus talked
I just want to be, I want to be like Him

Walk like Jesus walked (I want to talk like Jesus)
Talk like Jesus talked (My heart's desire is to be like Him)
I just want to be, I want to be like Him

(I want to pray like Jesus) Pray like Jesus prayed
Each and every day (My desire is to be more like Thee)
I want to be like Him

(I want to love) Love my fellow man
Lend a helping hand
(I want to be like the Lord) I want to be like Him

Stay holy (Hallelujah, Lord please show me)
Lord, please show me
I want to be like Him (I just wanna be)
(I want to walk like you walked) Walk like Jesus walked
(I want to talk) Talk like Jesus talked
(I just want to be like You) I just want to be, I want to be like Him
