My Prayer Is...

that my life will always be a mirror that will reflect the love of Jesus...
that my hands will always be reaching out toward those who are in need...
that my lips will always be speaking words of kindness and love...
that my feet will always be moving forward toward Heaven...
that my heart will always love Jesus above all else
that I will always love my neighbor like Jesus loves me...
that I'll be like Jesus in every thing I say and do...
that His love will flow through me...
that I'll be a servant...
that the beauty of Jesus will be seen in my life...
that I will be the Christian young lady, that Jesus wants me to be...
that I will be willing to be used wherever His place for me is...

This is my prayer, my heart-felt desire... I want to be like Jesus.






I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS:

1
I have one deep, supreme desire,
that I may be like Jesus.
To this I fervently aspire,
that I may be like Jesus.
I want my heart His throne to be,
so that a watching world may see
His likeness shining forth in me.
I want to be like Jesus.


2
He spent His life in doing good;
I want to be like Jesus.
In lowly paths of service trod;
I want to be like Jesus.
He sympathised with hearts distressed,
He spoke the words that cheered and blessed,
He welcomed sinners to His breast.
I want to be like Jesus.


3
A holy, harmless life He led;
I want to be like Jesus.
The Father’s will, His drink and bread;
I want to be like Jesus.
And when at last He comes to die,
“Forgive them, Father,” hear Him cry
for those who taunt and crucify.
I want to be like Jesus.


4
O perfect life of Christ, my Lord!
I want to be like Jesus.
My recompense and my reward,
that I may be like Jesus.
His Spirit fill my hungering soul,
His power all my life control.
My deepest prayer, my highest goal,
that I may be like Jesus.
