1. Heav’nly Father, this I pray,
Make me more like Jesus;
Lead me in the heav’nly way,
Make me more like Jesus.

Refrain
More and more, more and more,
More and more like Jesus;
Lead me in the heav’nly way,
More and more like Jesus.

2. Father, teach me day by day,
To be more like Jesus!
Teach me how to watch and pray,
And be more like Jesus. [Refrain]

3. In submission, faith, and love,
Make me more like Jesus!
Grant this blessing from above,
Make me more like Jesus. [Refrain]
