[Verse 1:]
To emulate my mother is fine,
To imitate my sister sometimes,
To accomplish what my brother has achieved;
I would rather be more like Thee,
(it's my desire to be more like Thee),
I want to more like Thee.

[Chorus 1:]
(I want to walk, I want to talk like He talked),
Oh I want to be more.
(I want to pray like Jesus prayed each and everyday),
Oh I want to be more, be more like Thee

[Verse 2:]
To win a Grammy one day,
To see my name in lights on Broadway;
These things don't really matter to me,
I would rather be more like Thee.

[Chorus 2:]
(I've gotta love my fellow man, Lord, I've got to lend a helping hand),
Oh, I want to be more.
(I've got to stay holy, but Lord You've got to show me),
Oh, I want to be more, oh be more like Thee.

[Bridge:]
Use me for Thy service each day,
Every way, Lord, I pray.

[Vamp:]
Walk like Jesus walked,
Talk like Jesus talked,
I want to be like Him.

Pray like Jesus prayed,
Each and every day,
I want to be like Him.

Love my fellow man,
Lend a helping hand,
I want to be more like Him.

Stay holy,
Lord, please show me,
I want to be like Him.
