I Would Be Like Jesus

1 Earthly pleasures vainly call me;  
I would be like Jesus;  
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me,  
I would be like Jesus.  

Refrain:  
Be like Jesus - this my song,  
In the home and in the throng;  
Be like Jesus, all day long,  
I would be like Jesus.  

2 He has broken every fetter,  
I would be like Jesus;  
That my soul may serve Him better,  
I would be like Jesus. [Refrain]  

3 All the way from earth to glory,  
I would be like Jesus;  
Telling o’er and o’er the story,  
I would be like Jesus. [Refrain]  

4 That in heaven He may meet me,  
I would be like Jesus;  
That His words “Well done” may greet me,  
I would be like Jesus. [Refrain]
