Text: | I Would Be Like Jesus |
Author: | James Rowe |
Tune: | [Earthly pleasures vainly call me] |
Composer: | B. D. Ackley |
1 Earthly pleasures vainly call me;
I would be like Jesus;
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me;
I would be like Jesus.
Chorus:
Be like Jesus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus, all day long!
I would be like Jesus.
2 He has broken ev'ry fetter,
I would be like Jesus;
That my soul may serve Him better,
I would be like Jesus. [Chorus]
3 All the way from earth to Glory,
I would be like Jesus;
Telling o’er and o’er the story,
I would be like Jesus. [Chorus]
4 That in Heaven He may meet me,
I would be like Jesus;
That His words “Well done” may greet me,
I would be like Jesus. [Chorus]
