Oh I have days I lose the fight
Try my best but just don?t get it right
Well I talk a talk that I don?t walk
And miss the moments right before my eyes
Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can?t see past myself
Oh Lord help me be
A little more like mercy
A little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience
A little more like peace
A little more like Jesus
A little less like me
Yeah, there?s no denying I have changed
I?ve been changed from who I used to be
But even at my best I must confess
I need help to see the way you see
Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can?t see past myself
Oh Lord help me be
A little more like mercy
A little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience
A little more like peace
A little more like Jesus
A little less like me
Oh to feed the beggar on the street
Love to be your hands and feet
Freely give what I receive
Lord help me be
I want a friendship first above all else
Love my neighbor as myself
In the moments no one sees
Lord help me be
A little more living
Everything I preach
A little more like Jesus
A little less like me
