What Do You Want, Lord?

What do you want, Lord?

For me to pray every day 

When I don’t know what to say?


What do you want, Lord?

For me to give to the poor

Because I have more than they?


What do you want, Lord?

A renunciation from sin

So my life can begin?


What do you want, Lord?

For me to make amends

And make closer friends?


What do you want, Lord?

For my deep and true devotion

Without the faintest notion

Of what it takes to be your faithful servant?


What do you want, Lord?

Do you want me all to yourself, 

or to share a life with someone else?


I don’t know yet but I know I have peace

I don’t know yet but I know you’re with me
