I played the fool so long Thought I was so strong All the while You knew it wasn't true Rerunning in my mind Memories of another time When all I ever lived for Was You
CHORUS: Jesus Make me the man You want me to be Jesus Make me the man You want me to be
I've been listening all my life Words are spoken all the time I have heard the liars and the true Voices twisting in the air Sweetly sounding so unclear But nothing can replace a word From You
A child is but for so long Turn around those days are gone Nothing can replace the years of youth I have swallowed lies That tasted true The plans I thought were sent from You When all You wanted was for me To be still
The burning in the heart Of man's deepest desire Is rising like a flame
The burning in the heart Of our deepest desire Rising like a flame Burning higher and higher Burning in the heart Of our deepest desire Is to know You
