Lyrics

You wan na be real,

you wan na be (C#m7)emp ty in side, you wan na be some one

(C#m7)lay ing down your pride.

You wan na be some one some day.

Then (C#m7)lay it all down be fore the King,

oh yeah.

You wan na be whole,

you wan na have (C#m7)pur pose in side, you wan na have vir tue

and (C#m7)pu ri fy your mind.

You wan na be set free to day.

Then (C#m7)lay it all down be fore the King,

oh yeah.

(Bsus)This is my de si

re,

this is my re turn.

This is my de si

re, to be used by You.

You wan na be real,

you wan na be (C#m7)emp tied in side, and I know my heart is to feel You near.

And I know my life, it’s to do Your will,

it’s to do Your will.

(CN.C.)This is my de si

re,

this is my re turn.

This is my de si

re, to be used by You,

oh yeah.

This is my de si

this is my de si

I have seen where You’ve tak en me, be yond all I have hoped, and there’s more left un seen.

There’s not much I can do to re pay all You’ve done, so I give my hands to use.

This is my de si to be used by You.

This page shows “My Desire” by Jeremy Camp in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of E at 76 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
