Lord, let our hearts be pure
Lord, let our words be few
Lord, let our one desire
Be to worship You
God, forgive us
For the times we called it praise, but it was show business
The times we used Your name, but You were not in it
Holy Spirit, lead us back to You
Oh, burn in us
Fan the flames of holiness and true repentance
Purify our hearts to do our Father's business
Let our worship only be for You
Lord, let these hands be Yours
And Lord, let our songs be true
Lord, let our one desire
Be to worship You
Oh, let it be
God, forgive us
For the times we called it praise, but it was show business
Oh, the times we used Your name, but You were not in it
Holy Spirit, lead us back to You
Oh, burn in us
Fan the flames of holiness and true repentance
Oh, purify our hearts to do our Father's business
Oh, let our worship only be for You
