If I could have one desire
Before my life is through
Even in my darkest night
My light would shine for You
If I could stop the hands of time
Or make a wish come true
I would tell my heart to burn with fire
For no one else but You
This is my one desire
You are my saving grace
Anchor of my soul
In a world that’s turned upside down
I want You to know
You are my faithful friend
The One that I lean on
You always understand
With all that I am
I’ll give
You the deepest devotion I know
With all of my strength
I won’t let You go
As I look to You above
I will give You all my love
