More Like Jesus Would I Be

More like Jesus would I be,
Let my Savior dwell with me;
Fill my soul with peace and love
Make me gentle as a dove;

More like Jesus, while I go,
Pilgrim in this world below;
Poor in spirit would I be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

If He hears the raven's cry,
If His ever-watchful eye
Marks the sparrows when they fall,
Surely He will hear my call:

He will teach me how to live,
All my sinful thoughts forgive;
Pure in heart I still would be
Let my Savior dwell in me.

More like Jesus when I pray,
More like Jesus day by day,
May I rest me by His side,
Where the tranquil waters glide.

Born of Him through grace renewed,
By His love my will subdued,
Rich in faith I still would be
Let my Savior dwell in me.
