Son of Man and Man of heaven
Full of grace and truth
Sinner’s Friend yet without sin
I want to be like You
Perfect in holiness
Full of faithfulness and love
I want to be like Jesus
I want to be like Jesus
I want to be like You
O Lord, our God
I want to be like Jesus
I want to be like Jesus
I want to be like You
O Lord, our God
You began a work in me
I know You’ll see it through
There’s a new song in my heart
And I want to sing to You
You lifted me from mire
From sin and from shame You set me free
And I know Your tenderness
I know Your power at work in me
You’re making me like Jesus
