I Want to Be a Saint

I want to be good
Full of the Spirit and faith
That many people would
Be brought to the Lord and His grace

I want to be virtuous
A non-anxious, calm presence
With desires ordered rightly
Radiant with His light inside me

Oh I want to be a saint
A holy one
With the power to love God fully
And my neighbor truly
A saint
To be magnanimous
Not for my own sake
But that Jesus would permeate
A saint

A holy one
With the power to love God fully
And my neighbor truly
A saint
To be magnanimous
Not for my own sake
But that Jesus would permeate
My life

So when others consider me
They'd find that this Jesus
Is breathtakingly lovely

Oh Lord make me pure
That all I'd live for is You
So Your Kingdom might be known
In all that I am, say, and do

Yeah I want to be a saint
A holy one
With the power to love God fully
And my neighbor truly
A saint
To be magnanimous
Not for my own sake
But that Jesus would permeate
A saint

A holy one
With the power to love God fully
And my neighbor truly
A saint
To be magnanimous
Not for my own sake
But that Jesus would permeate
My life

It's not about being flawless
But that even in my failure
God, You would be glorious
And would accomplish Your purpose
Through a spirit of repentance

Oh I want to be a saint
A holy one
With the power to love God fully
And my neighbor truly
A saint
To be magnanimous
Not for my own sake
But that Jesus would permeate
My life
