I Want to Want

I call it life, but it disappoints me every time
When I see it's only something of my own design
I call it life, but it's no life at all
When I pursue my own desires like I didn't hear Your call
There's a tension between this spirit and flesh
But from a place that is pure, I must confess

I want to want what You want for me
And not live my life so selfishly
May it only be Your will I seek
I want to want what You want for me

I call it foolish and how I've seen the hurt it brings
And yet I still go chasing after lesser things
I call it wise if there's a choice to make
And I pursue a kingdom that will never pass away
I have to choose so often each day
Between what's gonna last and what's gonna fade

I want to want what You want for me
And not live my life so selfishly
May it only be Your will I seek
I want to want what You want for me

I want to want what You want for me
And not live my life so selfishly
May it only be Your will I seek
I want to want what You want for me

I want to want what You want for me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And not live my life so selfishly
May it only be Your will I seek
I want to want what You want for me, yeah, yeah...
