Magnificent Obsession

Because I have no time for a "real" update right now... here are the lyrics to a rediscovered-and-now-current-favorite song.

"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
but 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
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

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
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
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

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
Jesus, be my magnificent obsession
