Happy November!! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. The following song is my prayer for November, and ultimately, my prayer for my life. I absolutely love this song, because it describes exactly how I feel. It's hard to find songs like that. I hope that you're blessed by it as well.
Magnificent Obsession
by Steven Curtis Chapman
Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed and still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me
Feeling like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again
This is everything I want and this is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires, Lord I want it all to be for You
Jesus be my magnificent obsession
So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross and let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love that You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie me down
To so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains
This is everything I want and this is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires, Lord I want it all to be for You
Jesus be my magnificent obsession, my magnificent obsession
You are everything I want
And You are everything I need
Lord You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me
You are everything I want, You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires, Lord I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You
'Cause You are everything I want, You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires, Lord I want it all to be for You

esus be my magnificent obsession, be my magnificent obsession
All for You
Wow! That's such a great song! I had never heard that before, but I looked it up on YouTube for the music, and I think it goes on the list of my favorites! I want that in my life, and I think we all should! I see people today ( sadly including myself ) get obsessed with so many measly things, but why can't we make God our consuming passion and our magnificent obsession! Thanks for sharing that, it's such a great song! :) ~Daniel~
ReplyDeleteThis song is in my top 10 - probably top 5. ;) And now whenever I hear it, I think of Josh. It epitomizes what he wanted, what he was striving for, and now he has reached that goal.
