1 What wonderful, wonderful mercy is this!
God wants us to be like Him here;
In love and in purity like as He is,
God wants us to be like Him here.

Chorus:
Wonderful! ’Tis wonderful!
That mortals His like-ness should bear;
Yet this is His will for you and for me,
God wants us to be like Him here.

2 “Be holy," said Jesus, "for holy am I,"
God wants us to be like Him here;
And grace all sufficient will freely supply,
God wants us to be like Him here. [Chorus]

3 With love that endureth and hopeth all things--
God wants us to be like Him here;
And faith which in trial triumphantly sings,
God wants us to be like Him here. [Chorus]

4 See millions now struggling in sin’s awful night,
God wants us to be like Him here;
And we may win many from darkness to light,
God wants them to be like Him here. [Chorus]

5 Why tarry, poor sinner, believe and obey,
God wants us to be like Him here;
There’s wonderful virtue in Calvary’s way,
God wants you to be like Him here. [Chorus]
