To all daddy's out there with sons and little boys - this is for you:
I Want to Be Just Like You (By Phillips Craig & Dean)
He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me
*chorus:
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
LordThat my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me
Got to admit I've got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right
But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
*chorus
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all
*chorus:
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
LordThat my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
LordThat my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me
*Lord I want to be just like you
cause he wants to be like me
Dads, you are so important in your childrens lives. Very often Mom's are focused on as the most important person - but Dad's, you have the heart of God in you - a Father created by a Father!!! This song moved me to tears today and I thought that this is probably every daddy's heart - to be the best Daddy you can be. I pray that you will feel special today and know that just as we all have a Father in heaven - our fathers on earth are our first glimpses to our Father in heaven. Your little boys want to be just like you, and your little girls want to marry somebody just like you. And if you run hard after God, and love as He loves you and strive to be like Him then you will have little ones with a beautiful example to look to. If you have been uncertain what kind of example to set for your little ones - this song is a very good place to start.
God bless all Daddy's today.

Been thinking of you this weekend, further to your earlier posts. Much love and prayers, oh woman of integrity. For when I pray I feel God say that you are a 'woman of integrity'.
Thank you Karen, it means alot that you pray for me. God bless you!

Amen! They are very important in children's livs. I mourn the fact that so many aren't. God bless.

I too love that song. I would like to have it on a CD. Do you know where I should look for it?
I love this.. my dad used to play it on the piano and sing along to it every night as i fell asleep.. of course he changed the "he" to "she".. it took me a few years to realize he played it every night for six years.. atleast those are the years I know he did. : )
