I Want to Be Just Like You

One of my friends posted some of these lyrics to this song on her FB. (Thanks CT!) I loved what she had posted so I looked them up. The song was originally written about a boy and a Dad, but I changed up the lyrics to fit us! I love this song and it will become my daily prayer.

I Want to Be Just Like You (By Phillips Craig & Dean)

She climbs in my lap for a goodnight kiss
She calls me Momma and I call her Sis
With her faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
She snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
I tuck her in bed and I kiss her goodnight
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday she'll see
She's got a father in God 'cause she's seen Jesus in me

*chorus:
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause she wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For her innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
Lord That my little girl can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause she 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 she'll learn from the things that she sees
And the Jesus she finds will be the Jesus in me

*chorus

Right now from where she stands I may seem mighty tall
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all

*chorus:
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause she wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For her innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
Lord That my little girl can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause she wants to be like me

*Lord I want to be just like you
cause she wants to be like me
