[Verse 1] You are the way, dear Jesus, you are the way How we can veer with good intentions Where the focus shifts to what you can do Instead of just loving you I don't want power, I don't want esteem I don't want the nations, I don't want anything I want the way that keeps me straight The way that only has one aim [Chorus] I want to love you, I want to know you I want to see you face to face I want all of you that my mortal body can take I want to behold the glory of your fiery eyes I want to kiss your wounded side I want to wipe your sorrowful tears I want to sit with you morning by morning, year after year [Verse 2] I want no other way, just this place behind the door Where your love stirs in me, provoking me for more I walk toward you and away from everything else I press on, shaking off the things that have sought to entangle With my face like flint on you [Chorus] I want to love you, I want to know you I want to see you face to face I want all of you that my mortal body can take I want to behold the glory of your fiery eyes I want to kiss your wounded side I want to wipe your sorrowful tears I want to sit with you morning by morning, year after year [outro] One thing is needed Help me to always remember Only one thing is needed One thing is needed
