My desire is for You
For Your heart's undying song
Has cut deep and true to my soul
In the passion of Your heart
I can feel my only peace
This heart of weary pace has begun to bleed
And my desire comes not from pride
Or my shallow and meaningless words
But from a heart that bleeds
From its wounds of sin and death

refrain
I want you to know that I love You
When my sin clouds my true desire
If I must lay down my life to show You,
To what could I more truly aspire
My desire, My desire is for You

This flame deep in my heart
Can't be bound by earthly loves
It's a pure, unfailing light that falls from above
In the stillness of the night
I can hear Your spirit call
This love won't let me go, and I know I'll not fall
But in this time of freedom
Please free me from all things
That would tear and defile Your heart
And in your grace and love
Let me never be parted from you
