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

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

To be more like Jesus!
Teach me how to watch and pray,
And be more like Jesus. [Refrain]

Make me more like Jesus. [Refrain]
