FIERY LOVER

 

 

 

1. Soon one day - all this stuff shall pass away

2. Little pleasures, I settle for worldly treasures

 

 

1. Gone like a passing desire.

2. Of the ruler of this earth

 

1. The flashes of insight -      fade in the absence of light

2. My distractions and toys-   No real focus or joys

 

1. In lives filled with smoke but without fire.

2. And nothing of lasting worth.

 

1. We occupy our senses with wood, and stubble and hay

2. Trying to buy insurance that isn't worth a dime

 

1. That blinds us, binds us, keeps us from seeing the games we play

2. All the trappings of life without life itself is a total waste of time

 

1. We become but scheming hearts upon a lost highway.

2. I've become a willing witness to my own crime.

 

 

Jesus, turn these ruts into streets of fire, To paths of glory and complete desire

 

Then you will be my all consuming goal- You are the fiery lover of my soul.
