Like Him Lyrics

From day to day

I reach for Thee

Heavenly Father

In my scriptures and on my knees

And I wish that I

Could leave the ills

Of the world behind

And always abide with Thee

Thou showed me the way

Through the gift of Thy Son

To have Thy peace

In a world with none

I would give all I have

To be forever with Thee

And live in peace for eternity

To be like Him ever more

To know Him well

Leave the world behind

And all that with it fell

Is my heart's great yearning

When comes His returning

I want to be with Him again

The weight of sin (weight of sin)

And the natural man (natural man)

Weigh heavy on me (weighs on me)

As I fight it the best I can (fight it the best I can)

And I ask that I (I ask that I)

Might have the power (have the power)

To by pure in heart (pure in heart)

Displacing my frailties (my frailties)

I know the way (the way is)

Through the word of Thy Son

To give Thy peace (give Thy peace)

In a world with none (in a world with none)

I would give all I have (give all I have)

To bring all others to Thee (bring them to Thee)

So they have peace for eternity

To be like Him ever more

To know Him well

Leave the world behind

And all that with it fell

Is my heart's great yearning

When comes His returning

I want to be with Him again

As I prepare to meet with

My Savior, Lord and King

I must be sure

That my heart will only ring

With the anthems of eternity

And know them well

So I can like Him be

And have His peace

To be like Him ever more (aaah)

To know Him well (aaah)

Leave the world behind (aaah)

And all that with it fell (aaah)

Is my heart's great yearning (aaah)

When comes His returning (aaah)

I want to be with Him again
