TO BE LIKE YOU
Oleh : Erica Winata P
If I knew how much you love me,
I will be strong
If I knew what you did for me
I will not worry
I pray, with all I am, that I will come to know
To know your heart and all that you are.
If I knew what you thought of me,
I would be whole.
If I knew you’re always with me,
I won’t feel lonely
I pray, with all I am, that I will come to know
To know your heart and all that you are.
Chorus:
The grounds will shake, the stars will fall
At your greatness we are awed
You make me want to be like you
You make me want to be just like you
The grounds will shake, the stars will fall
At your greatness we are awed
You make me want to be like you
You make me want to be just like you
Forevermore.
Bridge:
With the embrace of your compassion
I will be strong
With the sword of your great wisdom
I will be fearless
You took me into the light and scared away the darkest nights
I’m blessed for all that you are
Back to Chorus:
You break down the world, I thought I knew, to show me the truth
And raised me to heights that I thought I’d never knew
With folded palms, I prostrate unto you,
For me, all that you have gone through
Back to Chorus:
The grounds will shake, the stars will fall
At your greatness we are awed
You make me want to be like you
You make me want to be just like you
Forevermore.
