This Song is Once Again a Prayer of Mine

In High School I used to sing this song (only in my head),
Especially during my Sophomore year,
In Geometry class and often throughout the day.
Today, after many years, I remember it again:

How I want to be, Lord, just like you.
And oh, the good things that I want to do.
Listen to my heart, Lord, yes it’s true.
When you give Your peace, and you share you joy,
And you show your love, oh Lord,
How I want to be like You.

I want to be like you, Lord Jesus, yes, it’s true.
I want to be like you. Give your peace,
Share your joy, show your love, Lord,
How I want to be like you.

Repeat

Tag
How I want to be like you
How I want to be like you

The version I remember, even if not correct, goes like this: 
How I want to be Lord, just like You,
And all the good things that I want to do,
Listen to my heard my Lord, yes it's true.
I want to give Your peace, I want to share Your joy,
I want to show Your love, Oh Lord, how I want to be like You.

I want to be like You, Lord Jesus, yes, it's true.
I want to be like You. I want to give your peace,
I want to share Your joy, I want to show Your love, Oh Lord,
How I want to be like You.
