O, to be like You, to be like You, Lord
Bm C D F D Asus4
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as You are

G F C D
O, to be like You—this is my constant longing and prayer

Gladly I'll give up all of life's treasure

Helping the helpless, seeking the wandering

Lost sinner to find

Come in Your softness, come in Your fullness

Burn Your own image deep in my heart

G F C D
O, to be like You—holy and harmless, patient and brave
G F C
Willingly suffering cruel reproaches
D
Yet mighty to save

O, to be like You—pour out Your spirit, fill me with love

Make me a temple fit for Your dwelling
D
And heaven above
