   E  
He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug 
C#m 
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub 
         B 
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh 
   F#m                        B                   E   A 
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you" 
  E       
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight 
         C#m 
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light 
      B 
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see 
F#m                                                B 
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me 
 
 
                   A             B 
Lord, I want to be just like You 
                      E  
'Cause he wants to be just like me 
               A      B 
I want to be a holy example 
        A        B       E 
For his innocent eyes to see 
             A             B  
Help me be a living Bible, Lord 
        C#m    B       A  
That my little boy can read 
             F#m 
I want to be just like You 
       B                   E  A 
'Cause he wants to be like me

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

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

Help me be a living Bible, Lord
