Desperate Love

Desperate Love

I’m so desperately in love with You, my God
no burden of Yours now is too hard to bear
and when my friends and family in foolishness talk against me
to You I can give all of cares.

Each day Lord I ask Your Holy Spirit 
to once again fill me with such love inside for Him
that kind of love that only He deserves Lord
a love only Your Holy Spirit can place within.

I used to try to love You, Lord in my own strength
and I knew I fell so far short I’d begin to cry
but then Your Holy Spirit came and showed me to have this kind of love
that to myself I would have to completely die.

His kind of love says 
precious Lord no matter the cost for You that I’ll do  
all because I want to please You Lord 
and always and I mean always I will stay so close to You.

A desperate love of His Spirit 
leads you deeper and deeper in Him  
until you find yourself still so hungry for Him and His person
that nothing else can satisfy or take that place within.

So please Lord keep me hungering and thirsting for more of You
till that trumpet sounds to call me home  
and may I be filled consistently with a passionate desire for You and Your will
and carry Your anointing with me wherever You have chosen for me roam.
