Desperation

by Kelly Elliott

On bended knee
I lift up my heart;
it's useless to me
if You are not my part.

You counsel me Lord
to buy of You gold;
if tried in the fire
a treasure unfolds.

What can I offer
for I have nothing to give,
just a desperate desire
for I am dying to live,

A Holy dissatisfaction
that is as bitter as gall,
for I thirst for Your Life
to become my all.

Have Your way in my life ;
may You burn up the dross.
As You stand with me in Your fire
I'll not suffer a loss

I will come forth pure,
the finest of gold,
transparent to the world,
filled with a treasure to behold.

So what is the currancy of heaven
that will purchase this gold?

It is in me....
a desperate hunger
for His Life to unfold.
