Phillips Craig & Dean "I Want to Be Just Like You" |
He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug He calls me Dad and I call him Bub With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you" I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me *chorus: Lord, I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be just like me I want to be a holy example For his innocent eyes to see Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me *Got to admit I've got so far to go Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness 'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me *chorus *Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all *Lord, I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be just like me I want to be a holy example For his innocent eyes to see Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read Lord I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me *Lord I want to be just like you cause he wants to be like meee ya Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
