The New Praiseworthy ‎#8

8. I Would Be Like Jesus

1 Earthly pleasures vainly call me;
I would be like Jesus;
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me;
I would be like Jesus. (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.(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.(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.(would be like Jesus) [Chorus]
