Sacred romance embrace my heart. Desire
ignite the flame. No fear of being hurt.
A love affair, silent and bare. Inhale
to stand alive. I run to play with fire.
Untamed, so wild, the danger tempts, I come
to You oh Lord. Embrace my spirit, I’ll taste
the life You died to give. I will not waste
the zest, the zeal. I breathe, no longer numb.
The thunder storm, the lightning chase, vibrant
I pace the pulse of joy. Exhale in shouts,
In praise I sing. To learn I want it all.
To turn away, is sin. I won’t, I can’t.
Resound the heart of God, with faith, not doubt,
Not safe, but worth the risk. Answer the call.
