Lyrics
being patient and kind
he snuggles up close and says i want to be like you
Got to admit i ve got so far to go, with his faded old pillow and a bear named pooh
Right now from where he stands i may seem mighty tall, that my little boy can read
With his faded old pillow and a bear named pooh, trippin over the toys as i turn out the light, he climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
make so many mistakes and i m sure that you know
i tuck him in bed and i kiss him goodnight
help me be a living bible
That my little boy can read, filled with your tenderness, being patient and kind
Help me be a living bible, and i whisper a prayer that someday he ll see
With all the pressures in life i just can t get it all right, right now from where he stands i may seem mighty tall
for his innocent eyes to see
Cause i know that he ll learn from the things that he sees, cause i know that he ll learn from the things that he sees
Filled with your tenderness, being patient and kind, he climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
Cause he wants to be like me, but it s only cause i m learning from the best father of them all, but i m trying so hard to learn from the best
right now from where he stands i may seem mighty tall
Cause he wants to be like me, i tuck him in bed and i kiss him goodnight
Cause he wants to be just like me, trippin over the toys as i turn out the light
make so many mistakes and i m sure that you know
cause he wants to be like me
Being patient and kind, cause i know that he ll learn from the things that he sees, he s got a father in god cause he s seen jesus in me
I want to be just like you, he s got a father in god cause he s seen jesus in me Craig, with all the pressures in life i just can t get it all right
cause i know that he ll learn from the things that he sees
and i whisper a prayer that someday he ll see
But i m trying so hard to learn from the best, he s got a father in god cause he s seen jesus in me, he snuggles up close and says i want to be like you
i tuck him in bed and i kiss him goodnight
I want to be just like you, and the jesus he finds will be the jesus in me
