My obsession...

Poetry in music.
The new song that we sang today during worship really reminded me of this other song from delirious, which I had the chance of hearing it live when they performed it in AYA Fest. When I first heard Martin singing this song, I dunno why but it just really brings out this indescribable emotion in me....and this song just somehow struck a chord in me....and I will never ever forget that moment....listening to the album track feels a bit flat...so I really recommend hearing the raw, live version....simply poetic....

Lord, that my heart will burn for you, today, tomorrow and forevermore, amen....

Obsession
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
