I Want to Be Like Jesus

I Want to Be Like Jesus John Rogers

1 verse:
I have one deep, supreme desire, 
That I may be like Jesus.
To this I fervently aspire, 
That I may be like Jesus.

I want my heart His throne to be, 
So that a watching world may see
His likeness shining forth in me. 
I want to be like Jesus.

2 verse:
He spent His life in doing good; 
I want to be like Jesus.
In lowly paths of service trod; 
I want to be like Jesus.

He sympathized with hearts distressed; 
He spoke the words that cheered and blessed;
He welcomed sinners to His breast. 
I want to be like Jesus.

3 verse:
O, perfect life of Christ my Lord! 
I want to be like Jesus.
My recompense and my reward, 
That I may be like Jesus.

His Spirit fill my hung'ring soul, 
His power all my life control;
My deepest pray'r, my highest goal, 
That I may be like Jesus.
