Lord help me be what You want me to be

Being Yours is all that I want (all that I want)

Everything I took as my treasure

(Everything I took as my treasure)

But in You I have riches this world can't corrupt

So help me believe it and trust in Your love (Love sweet love)



Lord help me be what You want me to be

'Cause being Yours is all that I want (all that I want)

Your line is tight as a kite string

And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song

'Cause being Yours is all that I want

Your line is tight as a kite string

And higher than the harmony in heaven's sweet song



Lord help me be what You want me to be

'Cause being Yours is all th
