Lord, You know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things, I'll never tell
Lord, You know them well
Though I may be young
I see and understand
That at times like sheep we go astray
And things get out of hand
So I promise to be true to You
To live my life in purity
As unto You
Waiting for the day
When I hear You say
Here is the one I have created
Just for you
Repeat Intro
Until then oh Lord
I will be con tent
Knowing that true love
Will come some day
It will only come from You
'Cause I have seen the suffering
That loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
Without a rightous cause
Repeat Chorus
