Try to be like Jesus.

The Bible tells of Jesus,

So gentle and so meek;

I’ll try to be like Jesus

In ev’ry word I speak.

For Jesus, too, was loving,

His words were always kind;

I’ll try to be like Jesus

In thought and word and mind.

I long to be like Jesus,

Who said “I am the Truth;”

Then I will give my heart to him,

Now, in my early youth.
