The very things I hate
I end up doing
The things I want to do
I just don't do

Lord, it seems so sad
Why am I so bad?
When in my heart
I only want to be like you

The very ones I love
I end up hurting
The ones I want to help
I pass right by

Now I want to be
Finally set free
The grace you've shown
The love I've known

Please let it shine through me

I want to love them
The way you do
I want the serve them
By serving you

Lord, how I known
Your tender heart must be broken
By all those unkempt
Promises I've made

The question still prevails
Please take away the veil
About how you forgive
And still you live inside when I fail

I want to love them all
The way you do
I want to serve them
By serving you
I want to be like you
Jesus I do
