I want to love her like You love me
Give her everything I can
I want to live a life that’s holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen anybody
But I’m the one You gave her to
And she’s gonna be like me
So God, I want to be like You

My boy just turned 5 and he looks like me
Always playing baseball and climbing up some tree
God I know he won’t always be this young
Let him grow up proud to be his daddy’s son

I want to love him like You love me
Give him everything I can
I want to live a life that’s holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen anybody
But I’m the one You gave him to
If he’s gonna be like me
So God, I want to be like You

‘Cause their feet are gonna follow
Where their father leads her to
So Father won’t You lead me straight to You

And when my life is over
I pray they will look back
And say they saw a bit of Jesus in their dad

I want to love them like You love me
Give them everything I can
I want to live a life that’s holy
And be a better man
You could have chosen anybody
But I’m the one You gave them to
If they’re gonna be like me
They’re gonna be like me
So God, I want to be like You
