I'm looking for words to "I Want To Be More And More Like Jesus" as sung by the Blackwood Brothers. Can anyone help?

Hi Bobby.
Is this the one you're looking for?
Keith.

I Want to be More like Jesus

Take these things that hinder me.
Take my pride and my vanity.
Help me understand you
Teach me how to love you
Won't you help me to be more?

Chorus:
I want to be more; I want to be more like Jesus.
I want to be more; I need to be more like Him.

Take my self and my hypocrisy.
Help me live in simplicity.
Help me burn my bridges
Put Your Word within me
Lord, please help me to be more.

Chorus

Take my heartache and my emptiness.
Deliver me from all worldliness.
Take the chains that bind me
Put your arms around me,
And please help me to be more.

Keith:

Unfortunately, this is not the song. But I do thank you for responding. Back in the mid to late 50's, the Blackwood Brothers sang the song. Then, in the late 70's and on, James Blackwood sang it. Mostly as a solo. He even sang it in my Church one night. Shoulda got the words.

Again, thanks.
