Lyrics

[Verse 1]

As each day passes by

I feel my love run dry

I get so weary, worn

And tossed 'round in the storm

Well, I'm blind to others needs

And I'm tired of planting seeds

I seem to have a wealth

Of so many thoughts about myself

[Verse 2]

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

[Verse 3]

Our Father's will was done

By giving us His Son

Who paid the highest cost

To point us to the Cross

And when I think of Him

Taking on the whole world's sin

I take one look at me

Compared to what I'm called to be

[Verse 4]

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

[Verse 5]

Remember, there's no greater love

Than to lay down your life for a friend

[Verse 6]

The end of all my prayers

Is to care like my Lord cares

My one and only goal

His image in my soul

Yes, my weakness is revealed

But by His stripes, I'm healed

He's faithful and He's true

To complete the work He begins in you

[Verse 7]

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, oh I need to, be more like Him

[Verse 8]

Remember, there's no greater love than to lay down your life

No, there's no greater love

Than to lay down your life for a friend

For a friend

[Verse 9]

I want to (I want to)

I need to (I need to)

Be more like Jesus (Yeah)

I want to

Oh I need to (I need to)

Be more like Him (Oh, yeah)

I want to (I want to)

I need to (I need to)

Be more like Jesus

I want to (I want to)

I need to (I need to)

Be more like Him

I want to (I want to)

I need to

Be more like Jesus

I want to (I want to)

I need to

Be more like Him
