Help Me Lord To Be More Like You

Help Me Jesus to Be More Like YOU!
How can I be what God wants me to be…
If I’m living in sin, and have no victory?

How can I live like God wants me to live…
If I hold on to bitterness, and don’t forgive?

How can I live as a Christian should do…
If my life, through Christ, is not renewed?

How can I keep going and pretending?
If my heart needs a spiritual amending?

How can I do it?  Without Christ…  I’m lost!
Help me Lord to focus on the cross!

To live is Christ...  To die is to gain!
There’s an overcoming life I need to obtain!

I must serve Jesus and surrender my will!
A life of godliness must be fulfilled!

I must give him one hundred percent!
And come before him, and humbly repent!

Please take my life Jesus!  And all that’s in it.
My heart and soul...  I freely give it!

Jesus, I ask you to have your way in me.
I want to know you so abundantly!

Your words of truth have expressed…
Living for you, is always the BEST!
