The Person I Want to Be

I want to be like Moses
known for being meek
I want to control my anger
peace, I should seek

I want to be like David
knew what strength is
It is not through swords
neither armors and fists

I want to be like Joseph
stuck to the righteous path
walked through the obstacles
whatever may the aftermath 

I want to be like poor Job
remained faithful 'til death
lost almost his whole life 
but came to senses not to fret

I want to be like Samson 
not just because of his might
Using my strength for Jehovah 
even He is out of sight
