RCCG Hymn 696
I Want to Be Like Jesus
"And learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart." - Matt 11:29
I want to be like Jesus, So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak.
Chorus
I want to be like Jesus, God's well beloved Son; I want to be like Jesus, The pure and holy One.
I want to be like Jesus, So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, He met his Father there.
I want to be like Jesus, I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To any one unkind.
I want to be like Jesus, Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said "He hath done what he could."
I want to be like Jesus, Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call.
But oh I'm not like Jesus, As any one may see; O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee.
