Dr Kings Favorite Hymn

As a child, Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s favoorite hymn was “I Want To Be More And More Like Jesus.” On this day we honor a man who changed so many lives, I’d like to simply share some of the lyrics of a very young Dr. King’s favorite hymn…

The end of all my prayers is to care like my Lord cares

My one and only goal, His image in my soul

Yes, my weakness is revealed when by His stripes I’m healed

He’s faithful and He’s true to complete the work He begins in you

I want to, I need to, be more like Jesus

I want to, I need to, be more like Him

Remember, there’s no greater love

Than to lay down your life, no

There’s no greater love than to lay down your life

For a friend, for a friend

May we all enact these lyrics into the melody of our soul, and work for our lives to be in harmony with them.
