He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me dad and I call him bug
Faded old pillow and a bear named pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I wanna be like you"I tuck him in bed
and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin’ over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that maybe someday he’ll see
He’s got a Father in God ‘cause he’s seen Jesus in me
Chorus:
Lord I want to be just like you 'cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see (learning from
the father)
Help me be a living Bible, Lord that my little boy can read
I wanna be just like you 'cause he wants to be like me
I’ve got to admit I’ve got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I’m sure that you know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life, I just can’t get it all right
But I’m trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind filled with you tenderness
Cause I know that he’ll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it’s only cause I’m learning from the best Father of them all
Repeat Chorus
I want to be just like you
'Cause he wants to be like me |
