Shane&Shane - Yearn

Holy design
This place in time
That I might seek and find my God

Lord, I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion over You
And only You
Lord, I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion over You
And only You
Lord, I want to yearn

Your joy is mine
Yet why am I fine
With all my singing and bringing grain
In light of Him
Oh, You give life and breath
In You we live and move
That’s why I sing

Whispers
The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang.
But, the man did not hear. So the man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see. And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born. But, the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man . But, the man brushed the butterfly away . and walked on.
I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age. So I would like to add one more: The man cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement. But, the man deleted it and continued crying . Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

Inside of Love
watching terrible tv
it kills all thought
getting spacier than an astronaut
making out with people I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do late at night.
I wanna know what it's like
on the inside of love.
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
only when we get to see the aerial view
will the patterns show
we'll know what to do
I know the last page so well I can't read
the first, so I just don't start
it's getting worse
I wanna know what it's like
on the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
always under or above
must be a different view
to be a me with a you
I wanna know what it's like
on the inside of love
of course I'll be alright
I just had a bad night
I just had a bad night.
