my desire

I know I've already posted a few things recently that are other people's words, but they're words that express very well who I am and what I'm thinking about, so I do it anyway. We'll get to more of my own words sometime soon, but in the meantime, I've got more lyrics for you. This song was introduced to me by my friend Mitch, and I'm very thankful for that because it quickly became one of my favorite songs. If you haven't heard it, I'd suggest lala.com as a free way to listen, because it's the music nearly as much as the lyrics that make the impact.

This is who I am and who I want to be, who I am striving to be. So thank you, Jeremy Camp, for expressing those things artfully and in a way with which I can connect.


"My Desire" by Jeremy Camp

You want to be real
You want to be empty inside
You want to be someone laying down your pride
You want to be someone someday
Then lay it all down before the King
You want to be whole
You want to have purpose inside
You want to have virtue and purify your mind
You want to be set free today then lay it all down before the King

This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

You want to be real
You want to be emptied inside
And I know my heart is to feel you near
And I know my life
It's to do your will
It's to do your will

This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

All my life I have seen where you've taken me
Beyond all I have hoped and there's more left unseen
There's not much I can do to repay all you've done so I give my hands to use

This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you
