to know and follow hard after You

Dear Lord,
Please give me one pure and holy passion.
no more foolish passions,
no more misguided passions -
just one pure and holy passion.

Dear Lord,
Please give me one magnificent obsession.
no more self-indulgent obsessions,
no more self-destructive obsessions -
just one magnificent obsession.

Dear Lord,
Please give me one glorious ambition for my life.
no more high-flying ambitions,
no more selfish ambitions -
just one glorious ambition for my life...

To know and follow hard after You.

~{O}~

This prayer was inspired by this 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 be found as Your 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.

.

Amen.
