A little less of me A little more of You Every day, in everything I do Oh-oh-oh… Make me more like You I used to think that growing stronger Meant I had to stand alone But the closer that I walk beside You The more I learn to call You home I used to answer hurt with anger Let my worries steal my peace Now You’re teaching me a better way To let Your love live through me Not in a moment, not overnight You’re changing my heart a little at a time As I remain within Your love Your Spirit grows what I could never become A little more like Jesus A little less like yesterday A little more compassion In the words I choose to say A little more forgiveness A little more of heaven’s peace A little more like Jesus Growing every day in me Oh-oh-oh, let Your love shine through Oh-oh-oh, make me more like You When patience feels a little harder And kindness costs a little more Remind me how You loved the broken And welcomed those the world ignored When I am tempted to keep score Of every wrong that’s come my way Teach me mercy, teach me gentleness And give me grace enough to stay I’m not the same as I was before But I know You’re growing so much more The branches flourish on the Vine As I abide in Your love divine A little more like Jesus A little less like yesterday A little more compassion In the words I choose to say A little more forgiveness A little more of heaven’s peace A little more like Jesus Growing every day in me Love is growing Joy is rising Peace is flowing Grace is shining Oh-oh-oh… A little more like You Grow Your love where I’ve been selfish Grow Your joy where I’ve been sad Grow Your peace inside my worry Grow thanksgiving for what I have Grow Your patience in my waiting Grow Your kindness in my words Grow Your goodness in my choices Grow my faith to trust Your Word Grow Your gentleness within me Self-control when feelings rise Let the fruit of Your own Spirit Show the world that I’m alive in Christ Not by striving Not by pride But by Your Spirit Changing me inside Every season Every day Make me more like Jesus In every little way! A little more like Jesus A little less like yesterday A little more compassion In the words I choose to say A little more forgiveness A little more of heaven’s peace A little more like Jesus Growing every day in me And as I rest within Your presence There’s a gladness deep inside For You have called me to Your friendship And Your joy in me abides A little more like Jesus A little more each day Not because I’ve earned Your love But because Your love has changed me Oh-oh-oh… Make me more like You.
