Story behind the song
I wrote this in college. There is an older, shorter version of this song that I recorded live before I became disabled in my song list.
Lyrics
"I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU" by Jeff Leslie ca.1978
May every word I speak be of Your wisdom and Your truth
May every step I take be toward Your throne
May everyone I meet see Your life reflect in me
With the joy I have because I am Your own
May every prayer I pray express the beauty in Your Word
May every song I sing exalt Your name
May people be aware that where I go Your there
And without You I would never be the same
I want to live my life as You would live it for me
And I want You, my Lord, to be a part of everything I do
For You have made my life worth living
Help me make it worth the giving
I want to be like You, my Lord, to be like You
May everything I do be done as if it's done for You
That I may do the very best I can
And if I ever fall, let me come back standing tall
Take my life, dear Lord, I place it in Your hands
I want to live my life as you would live it for me
And I want You, my Lord, to be a part of everything I do
For You have made my life worth living
Help me make it worth the giving
I want to be like You, my Lord, to be like You
For You have made my life worth living
Help me make it worth the giving
I want to be like You, my Lord
To be like You
I want to be like You...
