My Heart's Desire

Oh, Lord, You are my heart’s desire

I want to do what You require

To meet with You at break of day

To read Your word, to bow and pray

To listen to Your every word

To think not that it is absurd

To drink its truths into my heart

So, from You, Lord, I’ll not depart

To love You, Lord, as you love me

You gave Your life upon a tree

You sacrificed for all my sin

So, by Your Spirit, pure within

To love Your people, the world, too

To share with them all that You do

To show them why for us You died

Our sins, with You, be crucified

Now we can live for You each day

To do all that You do and say

To minister Your word, in truth

To dissipate the lies uncouth

To give such hope as You gave me

That from my sin I would be free

To walk with You, serve You each day

Surrendered to You, Lord, I pray
