It's my desire to do some good deed every day My desire to help some, falter by the way It's my desire to bring back someone's gone astray It's my desire to be just like the Lord It's my desire to shelter someone from the cold My desire to bring back some wanderer to the fold It's my desire to do as I am told It's my desire to be just like the Lord It's my desire to teach some sinner how to pray My desire to help some traveler by the way It's my desire to lift up Jesus every day It's my desire to be just like the Lord It's my desire to see the Father and the Son My desire to see his face when all on earth is done It's my desire to hear him say, "My child, well done." It's my desire to be just like the Lord
