Natural theology and pietism. Brooke is a marvelous singer when she sings and speaks about Jesus Christ, but this experimental investigation into apologetic desires and feelings is REALLY bad thinking.
Wikipedia'The Four Noble Truths',there is another explanation of the point of desire,not only that,but it has been taught that desire is not only the cause of all our own suffering,but the root cause of all suffering beings bring upon other beings too.If you can end desire,you will have complete satisfaction/happiness,as if you had obtained everything you could ever want,and you would finally be perfect too,since you would have eradicated the source of all evil.Sorry if this view is challenging
Many years ago, I heard a musician whose music felt like food to my soul... that was James Taylor. Not since have I felt exactly the same; I have now.
To Brooke: I just want to say Praise God for you Brooke! God has bless you with a wonderful voice and a talent to write songs. You inspire me as a young worship leader. Thanks =)
Much of what is in this song is borrowed from C.S. Lewis...:)
if you like this you may enjoy reading his books, because her verses are pretty close to exact quotes of some of his works...if not exactly what he wrote...
it is based off of CS Lewis' book Mere Christianity, where he argues that since we have in us a hope for another world that we do not belong here. He argues that we should not snuff out this hope, but embrace it. It is why nothing satisfies us. "There was something we grasped at, in that first moment of longing, which just fades away in the reality." Also, "Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists." Both from the chapter "Hope" in Mere Christianity.
@Sicglorytransit Wow, that is really profound and so true. I've been a Christian for a long time, but I've never read that book. I'll have to add it to my list. Thanks! God is so amazing!

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared
[CHORUS]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me
kmcallenberg 2 years ago 2
Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become
[CHORUS]
For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming

Great lyrics, C.S. Lewis is brilliant. The song, however, does not impress me, I am sad to say. The drums, in particular, sound horrible.
