Verse 1
Let me want what You want
Oh my dear Lord
Let me love what You love
Oh! dear Lord
That is how You designed life to be Lord
Help me Lord to live how I ought to live
Verse 2
Let me want what You want
Oh my dear Lord
Let me love what You love
Oh! dear Lord
That is how You designed life to be Lord
Help me Lord to live how I ought to live
Chorus (x2)
Oh! Lord take me to the place
Where I have no will
That is separate from Your will
Oh! Lord take me to the place
Where I have no choice
That is separate from Your choice
To be lost in You is my desire
To be all for You is what I want
Verse 3
Let my life bring You joy
And not pain Lord
Let me live in Your plan for my life
That is living life at it's very best Lord
That is living to glorify Your name
Verse 4
Let my life bring You joy
And not pain Lord
Let me live in Your plan for my life
That is living life at it's very best Lord
That is living to glorify Your name
Chorus

Verse 5
Set me free from myself
Oh! my dear Lord
From the ways of my flesh set me free
So I can avoid the ways of regrets
So that my life can bring pleasure to You Lord
Chorus
(Repeat chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration
This song, “Let Me Want What You Want,” is a prayer about surrendering personal desire to divine purpose. The repeated request — to want what God wants and love what God loves — frames obedience not as rule-keeping but as alignment, a return to the way life was designed to function. The chorus asks to be brought to a place where human will and choice are not separate from God’s, which echoes the Garden ideal and Jesus’ own prayer that His followers would be one with the Father.
The verses move from wanting and loving to living: a life that brings God joy rather than pain, and that glorifies His name. That phrasing suggests that human flourishing and divine pleasure are connected, not opposed. The final verse asks to be set free from self and from the flesh, not for personal comfort but so that life can avoid regret and bring pleasure to God. The prayer is honest about human resistance, yet its aim is complete absorption — being lost in God as the truest version of being found.
