He was the kindest man on earth

Never turned anyone away

Beggars and lepers would come to Him

And He would take away their pain

He cared about the children

And held them on His knee

And He prayed for them

Just like he prays for me

Oh, I wish that I was patient

I wish that I was kind (I wish that I was kind)

I wish that I was like Him

And I put away my pride

I make mistakes, I close my heart

I push away, I fall apart

But I won't stop 'til I see

His kindness in me

He gave comfort to those in need

And He lifted weary hands

He taught us how to love relentlessly

Not just with the words He said

He asked God to forgive them

When He died on Calvary

And He prayed for them (yeah, He prayed for them)

Just like He prays for me

Oh, I wish that I was patient

I wish that I was kind

I wish that I was like Him (oh-oh)

And I put away my pride

(Put away my pride) I make mistakes, I close my heart

I push away, I fall apart

But I won't stop 'til I see

His kindness in me

His kindness in me

I wish that I was patient

I wish that I was kind

I wish that I was like Him

And I put away my pride

I make mistakes, I close my heart

I push away, I fall apart

But I won't stop 'til I see

His kindness in me
