I Want To Be More Like Jesus
B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas
What kind of man
Would wash men's feet
Get pushed around
Then turn the other cheek
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
So little time
He took for Himself
He was more concerned
For everybody else
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
As tears of pain
Fell from His eyes
He prayed for those
Who had him crucified
I want to be more like Him
Everyday in every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
Oh,
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
Oh oh
I want to be more like Jesus
Would wash men's feet
Get pushed around
Then turn the other cheek
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
So little time
He took for Himself
He was more concerned
For everybody else
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
As tears of pain
Fell from His eyes
He prayed for those
Who had him crucified
I want to be more like Him
Everyday in every way
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can
Oh,
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
Oh oh
I want to be more like Jesus
I Want To Be More Like Jesus
