To Be Like Him

What is this thing I feel
What makes my heart reveal
This strange attraction to be like Him
Why can I not ignore
Like so many times before
His invitation to be like Him

Somehow I can't escape
From the love He has shown
Somehow His spirit finds
A way to make it known
To think that for my life
Jesus gave up His own
It makes me want to serve Him
And trust in Him alone

He chose to lay aside
One earthly fame and pride
That's how my Lord became
The greatest of all men
And He is not ashamed
To let me share His name
That I might find my life in vain

Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, yeah

What made Him condescend
To love me like a friend
In spite of all my sin
He bled for me and died
Lord God, I offer You
My spirit to anew
Read my desire to be like Him

To be like Him, oh...
To be like my Jesus
Forever to Him, mm-hmm
I want to be like Jesus
In every way and every day
I want to care a lot like Jesus
Mm-hmm
Ooh-ooh, every day...
