Magnificent Obsession

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

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
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
My magnificent obsession

You are everything I want
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, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession
Be my magnificent obsession

About

Hi! I basically use blogs to say to a piece of paper what I can't say as easily to the people I know. I encourage them to read my blog but my guess is most don't. If you read about me here, you will probably know more about me than most people.
