Like you

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
(John 14:6; NLT). 

1. May I grow like you, Lord,
For you’re the missing link –
A little more like you, my Way,
In everything I think.

2. May I grow like you, Lord,
For you’re the guide I seek –
A little more like you, my Truth,
In every word I speak.

3. May I grow like you, Lord,
For this is all I ask –
A little more like you, my Life,
As I face every task.

4. May I grow like you, Lord,
This is my only plea –
Then it will be no longer
who lives, but you, in me.

It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
(Galatians 2:20; NLT).
