I wrote a short sermon on this song:
I love the lyrics to this song. I think it describes a place we all often find ourselves at, but we rarely realize we are there, and even fewer songs are written about to describe it, or if we do know that is where we are, we don’t know how to describe it. It is that stage between not caring about God, and wanting God, it is the wanting to yearn stage. We tend to go through 3 major stages in our walk: 1) we want nothing to do with God. 3) We want God, we yearn for him. But 2 is one we don’t realize often, 2 is wanting to yearn for God, or wanting to want him. So many times we are here, and we just don’t know where we are. We want to want God, but we just don’t quite want him yet. “Lord I want to yearn for You, I want to burn with passion over you and only you”.
