260 I Only Seek to Love God in My Heart
Verse 1
Oh, God! I do not ask that others
treat me well or tolerate me,
nor that they understand me,
or that they approve of me.
The only thing I ask
is I may love You in my heart,
that my conscience may be clear
and my heart may be at ease.
Chorus
I only wish to act
based on my heart of love for You;
I ask only to serve You
with a true heart and the truth.
I wish for nothing more than
to do Your will for as long as I live,
and to do all that I do
according to Your will.
Verse 2
I don’t ask that others praise me,
or regard me highly;
I only ask, from my heart
that I may satisfy You,
and I only wish that
I may put the truth into practice,
in order that I may be
able to satisfy You.
Chorus
I only wish to act
based on my heart of love for You;
I ask only to serve You
with a true heart and the truth.
I wish for nothing more than
to do Your will for as long as I live,
and to do all that I do
according to Your will.
Bridge
With full devotion, I perform my duty,
and although I’m of poor caliber and foolish,
I know so well that You are lovely,
and I’m willing to give to You all of me.
Chorus
I only wish to act
based on my heart of love for You;
I ask only to serve You
with a true heart and the truth.
I wish for nothing more than
to do Your will for as long as I live,
and to do all that I do
according to Your will.
