[Pre-Chorus]
So turn my eyes to what is true,
Shape my heart by watching You.

[Chorus]
I want to imitate God in everything I do,
I’m Your dear child—and I’m loved by You.
Teach my walk, teach my tongue, teach my thoughts to run
In the light of the Father, like a daughter and son.
I’ll imitate God—let it be my song,
Because You’ve been my Father all along.

[Verse 2]
When I’m discipled by the things I choose—
The voices I trust, the paths I follow through.
If my life is echoing what I adore,
Let it echo mercy and grace forevermore.
Make me faithful, steady, loving, true, and kind—
A family resemblance the world can find.

[Pre-Chorus]
Father, pull me back when I drift away,
Let Your kindness lead and change me today.

[Bridge]
I want to be more like You, oh Holy Father—
Loving, merciful, steady, true—I'm Your son. I'm Your daughter. 
May I depend on You a little more each day,
So Father, help Your kid out—guide me in Your way.

I want to be more like You, oh Holy Father—
Loving, merciful, steady, true—II'm Your son. I'm Your daughter,.

[Chorus]
I want to imitate God in everything I do,
I’m Your dear child—and I’m loved by You.
Teach my walk, teach my tongue, teach my thoughts to run
In the light of the Father, like a daughter and son
I’ll imitate God—let it be my song,
Because You’ve been my Father all along.

[Tag / Memory Hook]
Imitate God… in everything you do…
Because you are His dear children.
Imitate God… in everything you do…
Because you are His dear children.
(Ephesians 5:1)

[Verse 1] I learned the world by watching someone else, Little hands, little steps—slowly learning how to help. Words I repeat, work that I do, ways I react— It’s wild how love leaves a mark like that. And I don’t outgrow it, I just trade the face— Still becoming like what I behold in this place. [Pre-Chorus] So turn my eyes to what is true, Shape my heart by watching You. [Chorus] I want to imitate God in everything I do, I’m Your dear child—and I’m loved by You.
