A Passion For Thee

Set my heart, O dear Father,

On Thee, and Thee only,

Give me a thirst for Thy presence divine.

Lord, keep my focus on loving Thee wholly,

Purge me from earth;

Turn my heart after Thine.

A passion for Thee; 

O Lord, set a fire in my soul,

and a thirst for my God.

Hear Thou my prayer,

Lord, Thy power impart.

Not just to serve,

but to love Thee with all of my heart.

Father fill with Thy Spirit,

and fit me for service,

Let love for Christ every motive inspire,

Teach me to follow in selfless submission,

Be Thou my joy 

and my soul's one desire.

A passion for Thee; 

O Lord, set a fire in my soul,

and a thirst for my God.

Hear Thou my prayer,

Lord, Thy power impart.

Not just to serve,

but to love Thee with all of my heart.

- Joe Zichterman -

Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

- Matthew 22:37 -

And shall I use these ransomed powers of mine

For things that only minister to me?

Lord, take me tongue, my hands, my heart, my all,

And let me live and love for Thee!
