Yearn

Yearn

Holy design

This place in time

That I might seek your face, my God

My God

*

Lord I want to yearn for You

I want to burn with passion

Over You, and only You

Lord I want to yearn for You

I want to burn with passion

Over You, and only You

Lord I want to yearn

*

Your joy is mine

Yet why am i fine

With all my singing and bringing grain

In light of Him

*

Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn

*

Oh You give life and breath

In You we live and move

That's why I sing

*

Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn

On January 1st of 2006 I made this song my song of purpose. I wanted it to be so true of me. I have since failed miserably at making that so. But I know that it is still the desire of my heart and soul. I want so desparately to follow through with that yearning, that desire. So I guess in this inagural post I am simply offering my intentions. I am newly transformed from a conservative southern baptist to something new...I don't even know what to call myself. Of course, that is not to say there is anything wrong with conservative southern baptists. In fact, I believe that is the biggest thing I have learned in the last two years. I cannot point my finger at any one denomination or political affiliation, etc, and say that they are wrong because I have no jurisdiction to do so. I can only look at myself and give myself compeltely to God and the work He may have set for me. Which is a scary concept because that could mean anything. So, I am taking my leap of faith. A real one. And I will see where it takes me.
