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
