From our archives, Steve posted lyrics to I Want To Be Like Jesus

Because the hymn doesn't end with I want to be like Jesus,
I am wondering if this is perhaps the song you are looking for

If this is it I'll post the lyrics. If not can you give us any more clues?

There are at least a couple of ideas: one source for the lyrics was the Nazarene Hymnal, the edition used in the mid- to late-1970's. Another was an a cappella version sung on "The Light and Life Hour", probably some time earlier.

The chorus definitely ends with "I want to be like Jesus" and, frankly, I think it's one of the most moving, thought-provoking songs/hymns ever written.
