Lyrics

Heav’nly Fa­ther, this I pray,
Make me more like Je­sus;
Lead me in the heav’n­ly way,
Make me more like Je­sus.

Refrain

More and more, more and more,
More and more like Je­sus;
Lead me in the heav’n­ly way,
More and more like Je­sus.

Father, teach me day by day,
To be more like Je­sus!
Teach me how to watch and pray,
And be more like Je­sus.

Refrain

In submission, faith, and love,
Make me more like Je­sus!
Grant this bless­ing from above,
Make me more like Je­sus.
