More Like the Lord

Written by Ray Scarbrough

“More Like the Lord”

written by Ray Scarbrough (Chris White Publishing/BMI)

I could be like Noah, and keep my family dry

or pray like ole Elijah, for fire from the sky

I like the apostle Paul, from the dungeon dark and dim

But I’d rather be like Jesus, yes I want to be more like Him

Everyday, every way, I want to be a little more like my Lord

resemble The One, God’s only son

Lord let your voice be heard

I wanna do as I should, act as He would

until He gives the word

saying, “Child well done, your race is run”

well, I wanna be more like the Lord

I could be like Moses, and lead through darkest night

or steadfast like ole Daniel, and miss the lion’s bite

but I want to walk in the footsteps of the Man who forgives sin

I wanna be like Jesus, oh I want to be more like Him
