...And my heart.. ... Burns

The Lyrics of the worship song that changed my life forever in 1996:

Obsession by Delirious

What can I do with my obsession?

With the things I cannot see

Is there madness in my being?

Is it wind that blows the trees?

Sometimes you're further than the moon

Sometimes you're closer than my skin

And you surround me like a winter fog

You've come and burned me with a kiss

And my heart burns for you

And my heart burns

And I'm so filthy with my sin

I carry pride like a disease

You know I'm stubborn God and I'm longing to be close

You burn me deeper than I know

I feel lonely without hope

I feel desperate without vision

You wrap around me like a winter coat

You come and free me like a bird

And my heart burns for you

And my heart burns for you

Yes... Ever since I made my decision to follow Christ this chorus has been true. The truth is when it hasn't felt like its burning the reason is simply sin-a sinful desire to fullfill the need for God with my own answers. This will not do. It does not satisfy. Have I finally reached the maturity in my life to no longer go back to my own desires or answers? I hope. Yet I doubt that day is near.

One thing I know-when I fully listen and put my life in His hands, my heart truly burns with passion for the things of God and love seems to soften my heart and mold my paradigm.

This is my desperate desire, my confession, my hope.

And my heart burns...

...For You...
