Steven Curtis Chapman - Magnificent Obsession

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life's complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I'm chasing down the wind
But now it's brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I've never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You've shown me
Cut through these chains that tie me down to so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
Lord, You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You

Thanks for this video. It inspires to lead a life that matters by being involved in something bigger than life itself. It helps us concentrate on the things of God until they become a magnificent obsession and helps us to know our future is in His hands.

this is a great song. As a rock/pop fan, the instrumental at the very end reminds me of Chicago's 1982 hit Love Me Tomorrow off of Chicago 16. If Chicago ever did Christian music a la Amy Grant or Michael W. Smith this is what it would probably sound like. But with more horns instead of lead guitars. Just like Amy Grant's Thy Word(1984) reminds me a bit of Colour My World with the repetitive piano bass line.

I JUST made a Youtube account to comment on this song; it's that great of a reminder that our God is so amazing, and we owe it to him to worship him all the time! Steven Curtis Chapman, you've got the best songs and lyrics for reminding me of how awesome our God is.

He's going to be really proud of you when he calls us all home!!
