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.
