Desire

What’s going on inside of me?
It’s so hard to understand.
The swirls of emotion and thought,
Keeps my mind constantly going.
Your peace within is what I desire
To keep my mind focused on you

Your joy keeps me lifted up,
When the world around doesn’t make any sense.
You give me Your strength,
When all mine is gone.

You have done so much for me,
To make my life what it is today.
Many times you have lifted me out of my pit,
And placed my feet upon solid ground.
When I focus my eyes upon you,
All my trials seem to fade away.
The work of your Spirit within me
continues to forge me into who you want me to be.

Lord, search my heart
And hear its desires.
The longing to be constantly near you,
To be in your presence all of my days.
Having a mind always focused on you,
Oh, what joy that will be.

Lord, God, take all of me,
Continue to mold me into who you want me to be.
My life is useless in my own hands,
But in yours can make a difference.
A tool for you,
Is what I want to be.
To grow in your Spirit,
And help those in need.
To put aside myself,
And focus on others.
To give all of me,
To those who are lost.
Lord, I want to be,
All that you have created me to be.
Take my life,
And make it yours.

I lay down my life at the foot of the cross
I pick up my cross to follow you.
To this world, I want to be dead,
So that a true life in you, I can live
I pray that my every breathe,
Will bring glory and honor to your name.
