Lyrics
Make Me More Like You
Verse 1: (Richard)
Like a shadow, you followed me around,
Oh, sorrowI could feel your stare.
But then the good news reached my ears:
My sins had been paid in full.
Verse 2: (Richard)
Jesus won the battle on the cross,
He set me free and forgave my sins.
Jesus bore my burden upon the cross,
With His life, He saved a friend indeed.
Chorus:
Jesus, it's Yours to takethe heart and life You saved.
Jesus, You called me friend;
Lord, make me more like You.
Verse 3: (John)
What a joy it is to sing to the Lord
We raise our voice in praise
Let all the earth know and fear His Name
For He will stand by our side.
Chorus:
Jesus, it's Yours to takethe heart and life You saved.
Jesus, You called me friend;
Lord, make me more like You.
Verse 4: (John)
Look unto the west and there You are
Look unto the east and You are there
Both north and south Your presence goes with us
Call on the Lord while He can be found.
Chorus:
Jesus, it's Yours to takethe heart and life You saved.
Jesus, You called me friend;
Lord, make me more like You.
Outro: (John)
Lord make me more like You
Lord make me more like You
Lord make me more like You
Lord make me more like You
