Sheet music

  1. 1I want to be more like Jesus,And follow Him day by day;I want to be true and faithful,And ev’ry command obey.More and more like Jesus,I would ever be; (ever be;)More and more like Jesus,My Savior who died for me.
  2. 2I want to be kind and gentleTo those who are in distress;To comfort the broken heartedWith sweet words of tenderness.More and more like Jesus,I would ever be; (ever be;)More and more like Jesus,My Savior who died for me.
  3. 3I want to be meek and lowly,Like Jesus, our Friend and King;I want to be strong and earnest,And souls to the Savior bring.More and more like Jesus,I would ever be; (ever be;)More and more like Jesus,My Savior who died for me.
