I desperately long to be pure in heart, to see the world like you see it
Still I long to be close to you, with a life laid down for your cause
So give me my cross O Lord to bear, the narrow road I will walk
Your presence is where we find our home, better is a day in your courts
So purify my heart and my hands, I'm gonna climb the hill of the Lord
And surely, I, will see your goodness here
God of the earth and of the skies, and God who knows our hearts
Creation is waiting to see you move, we will go with nothing to lose
So purify my heart and my hands, I'm gonna climb the hill of the Lord
And surely, I, will see your goodness here
So purify my heart and my hands, I'm gonna climb the hill of the Lord
And surely, I, will see your goodness here
From the hill with glowing faces, a people who've been with God
We'll see the world through Christ-like lenses, speaking the truth in love
And in trial or tribulation, we'll go to every nation
And there we will see God
So purify my heart and my hands, I'm gonna climb the hill of the Lord
And surely, I, will see your goodness here
So purify my heart and my hands, I'm gonna climb the hill of the Lord
And surely, I, will see your goodness here
