Less Like Me

Oh, I have days I lose the fight

Try my best but just don't get it right

Well, I talk a talk that I don't walk

And miss the moments right before my eyes

Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped

Somebody with a hand that I could have held

When I just can't see past myself

Lord‚ help me be

A little more like mercy‚ a little more like grace

A little more like kindness‚ goodness, love, and faith

A little more like patience‚ a little more like peace

A little more like Jesus, a little less like me

Yeah, there's no denying I have changed

'Cause I've been saved from who I used to be

But even at my best‚ I must confess

I still need help to see the way You see

Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped

Somebody with a hand that I could have held

When I just can't see past myself

Lord, help me be

A little more like mercy, a little more like grace

A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith

A little more like patience, a little more like peace

A little more like Jesus, a little less like me

Oh, I want to feed the beggar on the street

Love to be Your hands and feet

Freely give what I receive

Lord, help me be

I want to put you first above all else

Love my neighbor as myself

In the moments no one sees

Lord, help me be

One, two, three

A little more like mercy, a little more like grace

A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith

A little more like patience, a little more like peace

A little more like Jesus, oh, a little less like me

A little more of living everything I preach

A little more like Jesus, a little less like me

Oh, a little less like me
