[Verse 1]
Lord, when you placed Your hands upon me
I knew that I would never be the same
For in that moment I became your servant
And since that day I only have one aim

[Chorus]
My soul desire is to be used
An empty vessel longing to be filled by You
My soul desire is to serve You, Lord
To do Your perfect will
To work each day and build Your Kingdom
This is my soul desire

[Verse 2]
Lord, I do not seek to claim the glory
I only wish to be under Your control
For I know that You alone are worthy
And it's You who placed this longing in my soul

[Chorus]
My soul desire is to be used
An empty vessel longing to be filled by You
My soul desire is to serve You, Lord
To do Your perfect will
To work each day and build Your Kingdom
This is my soul desire

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
My soul desire is to be used
An empty vessel longing to be filled by You
My soul desire is to serve You, Lord
To do Your perfect will
To work each day and build Your Kingdom
This is my soul desire

[Outro]
Jesus, this is my soul desire
