v.1
I have rested upon riches,
And I have boasted in my health
I have bought into a dream
I’ve relied upon myself
Now I kneel amidst the ruins
Of this disneyland charade.
And I pray you’d be my treasure
That the empty pleasures of this world might fade.
(chorus)
Desire of the ages
Oh i want to want you more
Than feeble faith can realize,
Than the things that I adore.
Desire of the ages
May everything I own,
Reflect the awesome value,
Of Christ and Christ alone.
v.2
I have trusted in man’s wisdom.
I have sought the world’s success.
I have coveted possessions,
Craving more and caring less.
Take this selfish, wicked heart, Lord,
I pray you make it something new.
A heart that worships only God,
For nothing is impossible with you.
(after repeat of chorus)
Desire of the ages
The universe proclaims
Your majesty and power
Your worthiness and fame.
