ONE PASSION!



“For to me, to live is Christ…”
(Philippians 1:21, NASB).

Lord, You are my ONE PASSION!
Yet, often I weep over my divided affections!
Too often, so full of myself,
I miss seeing the beauty of your perfection!

Lord, You are my ONE PASSION!
Often I am troubled over my lack of holiness!
To not hear Your Voice, sense Your presence,
To me, that is true loneliness!

Lord, You are my ONE PASSION!
My heart is consumed in Your holy flame!
Lord consume all of me,
So my life will glorify Your Name!

Lord, You are my ONE PASSION!
All earthly affections have been crucified;
All worldly pleasures no longer allure,
It’s only in You that I am truly satisfied!

Lord, You are my ONE PASSION!
To me, that is what You truly are!
I marvel at the complexity of Your beauty,
Heaven’s best and brightest Star!

Lord Jesus, You are my ONE PASSION!
Humbly now I submit to Your Lordship!
Lord Jesus, You are my ONE PASSION,
I humbly bow to worship!
