IT'S MY DESIRE
Kelly Garner

CHORUS
It's my desire
To serve Your kingdom Lord
To take the open door and live for You
It's my desire
To be Your feet and hands
To offer all I am to all that You can do

BRIDGE 1
This simple life I lay upon Your altar
To be purified by Your holy fire
Take all I am and use it for Your glory, oh God
cll I want is to be what you require

CHORUS

BRIDGE 1

BRIDGE 2
It's my desire, oh Lord
Just to be what you require
To do justly, love mercy
cnd walk humbly even through the fire
