Ever more like You,

Lord, I pray to be.

Ever more like You –

Jesus, reign in me.

 

Ever more loving,

Ever more pure,

Ever more patient,

All things to endure.

 

Ever more radiant,

Ever more bright,

Ever more humble,

Abiding in Light.

 

Ever more generous,

Ever more strong,

Ever more surrendered,

For to You I belong.

 

Ever more joyful,

Ever more in love,

Ever more captivated

By my Beloved Above.

 

Ever more obedient,

Yea, even unto death,

Ever more breathing

For You every breath.

 

Ever more like Jesus,

Ever more like the Son,

Ever more like Christ,

God’s Chosen One.

 

Ever more lovely,

Ever more true,

Ever more beautiful,

Ever more like You.

 

Ever glorious You are,

Ever radiant You shine;

Ever lovely You are

With agape divine.

 

Ever Truth You are,

Ever You are the Way;

Ever freedom abounds

In the Words You say.

 

Ever humble You are,

Ever You in Majesty;

Ever the Lamb Risen

Reigns in glory.

 

Ever my heart

Beats, Lord, for You;

Ever I forget

All else I knew.

 

Ever my hands

Your work embrace;

Ever my lips

Sing of Your grace.

 

Ever my spirit

Longs to be one

With You, Beloved:

God’s own Son.

 

Ever I worship

Before Your Throne;

Ever I rejoice

That I am Your own.

 

Ever I desire

To love You more;

Ever I express

How much I adore.

 

Ever Yours I am,

Ever I am my King’s;

Ever I delight

In Life He brings.

 

Ever more like You,

I then pray to be.

Ever more like You –

My Jesus, reign in me.
