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 Oh 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 I’ve been changed from who I used to be But even at my best I must confess I 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 Oh 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 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 a friendship first above all else Love my neighbor as myself In the moments no one sees Lord help me be A little more living Everything I preach A little more like Jesus A Little less like me"
