I've a yearning in my heart
That cannot be denied;
It's a longing that has never
Yet been satisfied.
I want the world to know
The One Who loves them so;
Like a flame it's burning deep inside.

Refrain
To be used of God, to sing, to speak, to pray;
To be used of God to show someone the way.
I long so much to feel the touch
Of His consuming fire;
To be used of God is my desire.

When I think about the shortness
Of my earthly years,
I remember all the wasted days,
The wasted tears.
I long to preach the Word
To those who've never heard
Of the One Who can dispel all fears.
