Verse 1:I want dear Lord, a heart that's true and clean;
A sunlit heart, with not a cloud between,
A heart like Thine, a heart divine,
A heart as white as snow;
On me, dear Lord, a heart like this bestow.
Verse 2:I want dear Lord, a love that feels for all;
A deep strong love that answers every call,
A love like Thine, a love divine,
A love for high and low;
On me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow.
Verse 3:I want dear Lord, a soul on fire for Thee;
A soul baptized with heavenly energy,
A willing mind, a ready hand,
To do whate'er I know
To spread Thy light where ever I may go.
Verse 4:I want dear Lord, a faith that looks to Thee
To cheer the way when naught but clouds I see;
A faith sublime, a faith divine,
A faith that will not fail
To trust in Thee and over sin prevail.
Verse 5:I want dear Lord, a hope steadfast and sure,
A hope that holds to things that will endure;
A hope in heaven, a hope in Thee,
A hope that's bright and clear,
Dispelling doubt and conquering ev'ry fear.
