We sing another verse also
to be like Jesus to be like Jesus all I ask to be like him. so meek and lowly, so humble and holy, all I ask to be like him

ok SORRY!! for some reason it posted wrong
Lets Try again!!!

To be like Jesus
To be like Jesus
On earth I long, to be like him
all through life's journey
From earth to glory
I only ask, to be like him.

I grew up hearing the chorus like this:

To be like Jesus
To be like Jesus
On earth I long to be like him
all through life's journey
on earth to glory
I only ask to be like him

I remember the first verse as:

From Bethlehem's manger, came forth a stranger,
on Earth I long, to be like him.
Serene and holy, obedient lowly,
on Earth I long (oh I long), to be like him.


I always loved that one!

To Be Like Jesus

He lifted up the fallen man, He gave the world a helping hand,
His heart was touched each time He saw a soul in need;
Displaying kindness everywhere, Mercy and love was His to share,
And like this Man of Galilee I want to be.

chorus
To be like Jesus, To be like Jesus, All I ask to be like Him.
All thro' life's journey from earth to Glory, All I ask to be like Him.

His look of love went everywhere, And lives were changed when He was there,
Hungry eyes and hungry souls felt His embrace.
He stooped to mend each crippled child, His healing touch was strong but mild,
and like this Man of Galilee I want to be.

1st verse & music by Henry Slaughter
2nd verse by Gloria Gaither

This seems to maybe be a chorus. I found the following.

To Be Like Jesus

To be like Jesus
To be like Jesus
All I ask - to be like Him
All through life's journey
From earth to glory
All I ask - to be like Him.

Found a copy of the sheet music for this but it wouldn't let me post the music parts. Sorry.

My desire - to be like Him.

To be like Jesus, To be like Jesus

His Presence fills me ?
His love ...
all I ask, to be like Him
