My Soul's Desire

Author: Charlotte G. Homer Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: Only one thing my soul desires Refrain First Line: Just to go where He may lead me Lyrics: 1 Only one thing my soul desires— Just to be what my Lord requires; Just to be such as He will own; Just to be His and His alone. Refrain: Just to go where He may lead me, Ready for Him the cross to bear; Just to work where He may need me, Just to be faithful is my pray’r. 2 Just to lay ev’ry idol by— Ready to answer “Here am I;” Willing to let His will decree Just what and where my work shall be. [Refrain] 3 Fill’d with the Holy Ghost may I Labor for Him as days go by; Let me a faithful reaper be, Gathering for eternity. [Refrain] 4 Jesus, the promise I would claim! Kindle the Penticostal flame! Breathe upon me Thy Spirit now, As at the mercy seat I bow. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Only one thing my soul desires]
