My wish—to be like You, Lord.
To know and do Thy will,
To be Your humble servant;
Your plan for me, fulfill.
I cannot do it in my strength,
But You say, “Do not fear.
I will enable you to do
All things—I will be near.”
So, steer me when I start to stray
From being close to you,
From striving for Your likeness;
From loving as You do.
Please help me as I try to do
Your work in word and deed.
Just knowing You are there for me
Is all the help I need.
