One Pure and Holy Passion

(Click on title to hear the song)

Give me one pure and holy passion

Give me one magnificent obsession

Give me one glorious ambition for my life

To know and follow hard after you.

To know and follow hard after you

To grow as a disciple in your truth

This world is empty, pale, and poor

Compared to knowing you, my Lord

Lead me on and I will run after you

Lead me on and I will run after you

(Song lyrics by Mark Altrogge)

Don't you hate it when a song gets stuck in your head? I normally do, even if it's a song that I love, but this particular song has been running through my head for the last three days - ever since Hanna sang it at 4:forteen - and, honestly, it's not bothering me at all. In fact, I'm okay with it sticking around indefinitely. The words are simple, and yet they encapsulate the prayer of my life. I hope the same is true for you...
