My Desire

My Soul's Desire

My soul's deepest desire

Is to be a spark,

That will set your church afire.

And that we may be,

A marvelous hallowed choir --

Singing holy songs,

That will make lost souls aspire,

First, to hear the word

And then through Jesus acquire

Salvation's free gift.

Lord I want to do

What you want me to.

To be a spark

That lights the dark

And draws lost souls to you.

Oh Lord this is my quest

My sincerest goal,

To achieve my utmost best

Ever serving You.

Make me worthy of the test

Striving to endure.

Until on that day most blest --

When our Lord returns,

Oh let me be obsessed,

With glorifying you.

Lord I want to do

What you want me to.

To be a spark

That lights the dark

And draws lost souls to you.
