I Want To Be Like

I want to be like you my Father
To be a reflection of your humanity
Like a child with unanswered questions
Teach me Your wisdom my Father

I read the letter You wrote my Father
Searching for Your guidance in every line
Praying You will lead me in Your direction
And embrace me in loving arms my Father

I receive Your blessings daily my Father
Forgive me of my haste and blind eyes
Teach me to slow my step and restore my sight
And hold my shaking hand my Father

I can never be like you my Father
I will always fall short of Your glory
Struggling to walk in Your footsteps
I’ve fallen, please carry me my Father
