VERSE 1

Our Father’s will was done by giving us His Son

Who paid the highest cost, to point us to the cross

And when I think of Him taking on the whole world’s sin

I take one look at me compared to what I’m called to be

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

INTERLUDE

As each day passes by, and eternity approaches

I feel the need to work, to do the will of God

I know it is my service and my sacrifice that counts

Lord help me just to focus on the cross and on the sacrifice …

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

INTERLUDE

VERSE 3

My yesterday is gone and my time is running out

This is my chance to prove, my love for my dear Lord

I’m just a desperate soul, unworthy of your love

You saved me and you called me, my privilege to serve you, Lord

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

INTERLUDE AND KEY CHANGE

VERSE 4

Heaven is coming quickly, soon this vanity will be gone

I’ll be out of this dark world, no more chance to prove myself

Lord, help me suffer loss, whilst I give myself to you

I want to sacrifice to take my cross and die for you

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

Remember, there’s no greater love

Than to lay down your life

For a friend, for a friend

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

CHORUS

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him
