In this heartfelt episode of HIS Story Through Hymns, we explore the beautiful hymn "O to Be Like Thee" (#316 in Great Hymns of the Faith). This timeless hymn is more than words set to music; it is a prayerful cry of the heart to reflect Jesus's character in our daily lives.

We’ll explore the hymn’s background, including its author, Thomas O. Chisholm, and composer, William J. Kirkpatrick. But this episode focuses on the spiritual truths woven into its lyrics and the Scripture that inspired them.

Along the way, I’ll share a personal testimony of how this hymn became a life-changing prayer during my time in Bible School. It led me to surrender to God and rely on the Holy Spirit’s empowerment to live a Christlike life.

Let this episode encourage you to make Christlikeness your prayer for 2025 and inspire you to worship God in spirit and truth.
