Oh I have days I lose the fight

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
