- Lord, I would be like Thee, in all Thy purity; I would be wholly,
Thine, and yield Thee what is mine. Oh may I do Thy will: Not mine, but
Thine, fulfill; My heart, my will, I now resign; My life to be only Thine. - Lord, I would be like Thee; Thy likeness is my plea; Devoted I would
be, and serve Thee faithfully. Grant me a love so true That for Thee
all I’d do; O light the flame of my spiritual fire; O be Thou my only desire. - Lord, I would be like Thee, that all around may see Thy holiness and
love that comes from heav’n above. O draw me close to Thee ’til all see
Christ in me; My life I give, my all each day; O use me, dear Lord, I pray.
REFRAIN
To be like Thee is my greatest desire; O Master, here, oh here am I! O
take me and make me like Thee, blessed Lord; To be like Thee is my greatest desire.
After final chorus
To be like Thee is my greatest desire. Amen!
