The Man You Want Me To Be

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 
Jesus 
make me the man that You want me to be 
Jesus 
make me the man that 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 
Jesus 
make me the man that You want me to be 
Jesus 
make me the man You want to see 
the burning in the heart 
of man's deepest desire 
is rising like a flame 
oooh... 
Jesus 
make us the men you want us to be 
Jesus 
make me the man You want me to be 
the burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is rising like a flame 
burning higher and higher 
burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is to know You 
the burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is rising like a flame 
burning higher and higher 
burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is to know You (Jesus) 
the burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is rising like a flame 
burning higher and higher 
burning in the heart 
of our deepest desire 
is to know You (yeah) 
Jesus 
make us the men you want us to be
