Jeremy Camp's song 'One Desire' is a prayerful declaration of wholehearted devotion to God. The lyrics express a longing to make God the singular focus of one's life, rejecting anything else that promises satisfaction but fails. Camp sings about being stripped of distractions and finding true life, peace, and joy only in God's love. The song emphasizes that nothing else can replace God's place in the heart, and it asks for a burning passion to lift Him higher. It's a worshipful surrender, acknowledging that everything needed is found in God alone.

I've been feeling like I'm buried underneath
All The things that don't bring peace, oh
It's been stealing all the joy inside my soul
I've been trying to control, but the truth
Is nothing else will make me feel alive the way you do
Nothing else will bring the dark to light
Be my one desire
Burn up inside my heart just like a fire
Anything else that tries to satisfy's a liar
Help me lift you higher
Be my one desire
Be my one desire
Break me down to whatever it takes
Strip it all away, oh
Only one thing that lasts through every age
Fingerprints on every page, it's You
Nothing else will take ever the place of who You are
Nothing else will ever take Your place
Be my one desire
Burn up inside my heart just like a fire
Anything else that tries to satisfy's a liar
Help me lift you higher
Be my one desire
The only thing my heart is chasing after
Anything else that tries to satisfy's a liar
Help me lift you higher
Be my one desire
Your love is my home
And Your peace is my hope
And I know that
Everything I need is found in You
Your love is my home
And Your peace is my hope
And I know that
Everything I need is found in You
Be my one desire
Be my one desire
Be my one desire
Burn up inside my heart just like a fire
Anything else that tries to satisfy's a liar
Help me lift you higher
Be my one desire
The only thing my heart is chasing after
Anything else that tries to satisfy's a liar
Help me lift you higher
Be my one desire
