More like Jesus would I be

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 147:9

Verse 1

More like Jesus would I be, Let my Savior dwell with me; Fill my soul with peace and love, Make me gentle as a dove; More like Jesus, while I go, Pilgrim in this world below; Poor in spirit would I be; Let my Savior dwell in me.

Verse 2

If He hears the raven’s cry, If His ever watchful eye Marks the sparrows when they fall, Surely He will hear my call: He will teach me how to live, All my sinful thoughts forgive; Pure in heart I still would be; Let my Savior dwell in me.

Verse 3

More like Jesus when I pray, More like Jesus day by day; May I rest me by His side, Where the tranquil waters glide: Born of Him, through grace renewed, By His love my will subdued, Rich in faith I still would be; Let my Savior dwell in me.
