One Pure and Holy Passion

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You.

To know and follow hard after You
To grow as Your disciple in the truth.
This world is empty, pale and poor
Compared to knowing You my Lord
Lead me on, and I will run after You,
Lead me on, and I will run after You.
