[Verse 1: Emily Bea]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Emily Bea]
He cared about the children
And held them on his knee
And He prayed for them
Just like He prays for me

[Chorus: Emily Bea]
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

[Verse 2: Emily Bea]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Bea]
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

[Chorus: Emily Bea]
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

[Outro: Emily Bea]
Oh, 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
