I Want to Be Just Like You

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug

He cals me dad and I call him bub'

With his faded old pillow, a bear named Pooh

He snuggled up close and says I wanna be like you

I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight

Trippin' over the toys as I turned out the light

I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see

He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

Lord, I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

Wanna be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see

Help me be a livin' bible, Lord, that my little boy can read

I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go

Made 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 tryin' so hard to learn from the best

Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness

'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees

And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me

Lord, I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

I wanna be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see

Help me be a livin' bible, Lord, that my little boy can read

I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

Right now from where he stands, I may seem mighty tall

But it's only 'cause I'm learnin' from the best father of them all

Lord, I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

I wanna be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see

Help me be a livin' bible, Lord, that my little boy can read

I wanna be just like You 'cause he wants to be just like me

I wanna be just like You

'Cause he wants to be like me
