Like Jesus

Representative Text

1 In truth and grace I want to grow
Like Jesus, day by day;
And scatter sunshine where I go,
Along my pilgrim way.

Refrain:
Like Jesus, like Jesus,
I want to be like Jesus;
I love Him so, I want to grow
Like Jesus, day by day.

2 I want to live a life of love
Like Jesus, day by day;
And point some soul to heav’n above,
Along my pilgrim way. [Refrain]

3 I want to do some kindly deed
Like Jesus, day by day;
And for His kingdom sow the seed
Along my pilgrim way. [Refrain]
