I Want to be Just Like You
By: Phillips, Craig & Dean

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug.
He calls me Dad, and I call him Bub.
With a faded old pillow, and a bear named Pooh.
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you".

So, 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 someday he'll see,
He has 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.
Help me be a living Bible, Lord,
That my little boy can read.

I want to be just like you,
Cause he wants to be like me.

Verse 2:
I've got to admit, I've got so far to go.
Made so many mistakes, and I'm sure that you know,
That 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 your tenderness,
Cause I know that he learns from the things that he sees,
And the Jesus he finds, will be the Jesus in me.

Chorus:
I want to be just like you,
Cause he wants to be like me.
