More Like Jesus Would I Be | Songs and Everlasting Joy

Although Songs and Everlasting Joy has had a slow start to 2024, what a beautiful and fitting theme to dwell upon at the start of a new year. May we all, this year, become more like Jesus. May He dwell with us - deep in our hearts. May He make us gentle as doves, poor in spirit, rich in faith, with our wills subdued to His will. May He dwell in us. Thank you to the very patient listener who requested this hymn 11 long months ago. I didn't know it before and am very happy to know it now. What a lovely sentiment and depth of meaning. Thank you, also, to all the people who have requested hymns but are still waiting. I will consider each and every one for the channel as time allows. May God bless you all in 2024 and beyond. More Like Jesus Would I Be Verse 1 More like Jesus would I be, Let my Saviour 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 Saviour 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 Saviour 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 Saviour dwell in me.
