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 Jesus, make me the man that You want me to be Jesus, make me the man that You want me to be 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, ooh 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
