I don’t desire
To be a good man
In order to earn salvation,
I’m saved so I seek
To be a good man
To show I’m Christ’s new creation.

My desire was to one day be great
But now pray that the Lord makes me good,
That I follow in His footsteps humbly,
And treat my fellow man as He would.

The only reason I desire a crown
Is to have one to cast at God’s feet,
To show my love and gratitude
To the One who caused satan’s defeat.
