Heart’s Desire

Draw me close to You, Father

Enfold me in Your hand

Let Your love encompass me

Surround me with Your peace

Release in me Your fire, Lord

Teach me in Your ways

Cleanse me, Lord, of all iniquity

Purify my mind and my heart

Set me on the path of righteousness

Give me a holy passion for more of You

Lead me, Father, where I should go

Open my eyes and my ears

Let me see and hear the cries

Of the broken hearted

Feed me with Your holy word

Fill me with knowledge of You

Send Your angels before me

Open the way I should go

Drive evil ways and evil thoughts

Far from me, my Father

Let me be your instrument

Finely tuned, fit to play out

Your divine will in my life

Plant words of holiness in my mouth

Teach me to sing joyously of Your wonders

And, Father, hold me close

Never let me wander from Your side

Let my feet press ever onward

Trodding towards the goal

Of my heavenly home with You

Let my every breath bring honor to You

And let all who see me see You

Let the light of Your glory shine through me

Let the compassion of my heart

Grow for all mankind

Help me, Father, to bring injured hearts

To You to be healed and restored

And let me never forget

You are my source

Without You I can do nothing

Only with You is my life of worth

Only with You do I desire to be

Only with You is all the glory.
