Draw me ever closer to You
Closer than I’ve ever been before
With all my heart, Lord my God
I want to know You more and more
You call to me and I can’t resist
‘Cause I don’t want to merely exist
I want to live for You, Lord
Ignite a fire in me
Fill me with a passion for Your name
Lord, light a fire in me
And let my every breath proclaim
That You’re the only One
That’s worth living for
May my life be Yours
And God, be my passion
Keep my love for You burning warm
Oh my God, never let me grow cold
Let everything else fade away
You are worth more than any gold
You call to me and I can’t resist
‘Cause I don’t want to merely exist
I want to live for You, Lord
Ignite a fire in me
Fill me with a passion for Your name
Lord, light a fire in me
And let my every breath proclaim
That You’re the only One
That’s worth living for
May my life be Yours
And God, be my passion
Strengthen my will
Impassion my soul
Ignite my heart
Discipline my life
That I may pursue You
With everything I’ve got, Lord
Ignite a fire in me
Fill me with a passion for Your name
Lord, light a fire in me
And let my every breath proclaim
That You’re the only One
That’s worth living for
May my life be Yours
And God, be my passion
