Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You got the kinda love that don't go unnoticed

You got arms open wide as an ocean, yeah

You’re always giving endless second chances

You’re faithful and You never leave me stranded

[PreChorus]

You’re patient

You’re kind

You’re heart is so much bigger than mine

You laid down

Your life

That's why, that's why, that's why

[Chorus]

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like You

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like truth

Losing every time I do it my way

So I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like love

I wanna be living life with my hands up

I don’t ever wanna do it my way

I wanna do it Yahweh

[Verse 2]

You are the perfect definition of goodness

And You stay by my side when I think You wouldn't, yeah

God, You give Yourself away because You’re selfless

Won't You teach me how to think of myself less?

[PreChorus]

You're patient

You're kind

You're heart is so much bigger than mine

You laid down

Your life

That's why, that's why, that's why I

[Chorus]

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like You

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like truth

Losing every time I do it my way

So I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like love

I wanna be living life with my hands up

I don't ever wanna do it my way

I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna do it Yahweh

Yahweh

[Bridge]

I'm a wannabe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a Jesus freak, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Call me a wannabe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause I wanna be more like You, yeah

Yeah, I'm a wannabe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I'm a Jesus freak, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Call me a wannabe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause I wanna be more like You, yeah

[Chorus]

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like You

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like truth

Losing every time I do it my way

So I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna, I wanna be more, more like love

I wanna be living life with my hands up

I don't ever wanna do it my way

I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna do it Yahweh

I wanna do it Yahweh

[Outro]

Wanna do it Yahweh, Yahweh

Wanna do it Yahweh, Yahweh
