 He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug

He calls me Dad and I call him Bub

 With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh

 He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"

 I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight

 Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light

 And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see

He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

 Lord, I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be just like me

 I want to be a holy example

 For his innocent eyes to see

 Help me be a living Bible, Lord

 That my little boy can read

 I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go

 Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that you know

 Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try

 With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right

 But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best

 Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness

 'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees

 And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me

 Lord, I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be just like me

 I want to be a holy example

 For his innocent eyes to see

 Help me be a living Bible, Lord

 That my little boy can read

 I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be like me

Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall

 But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all

 Lord, I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be just like me

 I want to be a holy example

 For his innocent eyes to see

 Help me be a living Bible, Lord

 That my little boy can read

 I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be like me

 I want to be just like You

 'Cause he wants to be like me
