I think 'm getting old! We took a awesome group of young adults to the Winterjam concert last night. A) I didn't even know some of the artist B) I thought the music was mostly to loud and C) We didn't get home until 1:00 AM and that was way past my bedtime!
But how great it was to see this incredible group of young adults as they worshiped and praised the Lord.
My favorite artist of the evening was Stephen Curtis Chapman--I guess that's showing my age again! He sang a song that really spoke to my heart. It was one that I have heard many times before, but in the light of what God has been sharing with my heart it just seemed to fit so well. It is called, "My Magnificent Obsession" Check out the lyrics...

Lord, You know how much
I wanna know so much
In the way of answers
And explanation
I have cried and prayed,
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing
Leaves me feelin’ like
I’m chasin’ 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
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

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

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
My magnificent obsession
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

You are everything I want
And 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
‘Cause 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,
Jesus,
Be my magnificent obsession

I am reminded again of that verse--But you have the mind of Christ
