You are to be perfect,
even as your Father in heaven is perfect
(Matthew 5:48; NLT).
1. Help me, Lord,
To follow in your footsteps,
To walk with you,
And slowly be reformed.
2. Help me, Lord,
To understand your teaching,
To sit with you,
And gladly be transformed.
3. Help me, Lord,
To love and serve, as you did,
Like you in all I feel, think, say,
And do.
4. Help me, Lord,
To live and die as you did,
For then, at last, I’ll reunite
With you.
