Just Like You

You’re my hope. You’re my hero.

You know all I am and what I can be.

Take this hard heart and make it like yours.

Holy Father, I need your heart.

You’re my heart. You’re my hero.

Let my life reflect your love.

Give me eyes to see past walls.

Give me ears to hear heart cries.

Give me hands that heal in your name.

O Holy Father, I want to be just like you.

You’re my Father. You’re my hero.

May my spirit walk with you.

Train my mind to see the lost ones.

Tune my ears to hear your voice.

May my soul shine with your light.

Dear Holy Father, I want to be just like you.

You’re my light. You’re my hero.

You know all I am and what I will be.

Take this one soul and make it like yours.

Dear Dad, I want to be just like you.
