Burning Desires

Oh the sun breaks through the leaves,
It's a beautiful day you made.
But my spirit grieves, and then it leaves;
Not a trace made, but I would trade,
This sin any day for a clean shirt,
Not stained with my sin and dirt.

And I want to ... Drop it now
Let it go
Out the window
I want to throw
Tear it up
Take this cup
What is up?
Why do I ... Always just give up?

Shadows are cast on the dewy field
And leaves fall down from the turning trees.
A ray of light illuminates, my heart's revealed,
And I grieve at what's been & you plant this seed.
I rip it out of my heart,
And I sing out and start

To want to ... Drop it now
Let it go
Out the window
I want to throw
Tear it up
Take this cup
What is up?
Why do I ... Always just give up?

The day beckons me to begin again;
The leaves are changing.
I think about the man I've been;
And my heart is changing.
I don't want this thin lustful spirit,
Cause I know that I hate & fear it,

And I want to...

The sun still warms my face,
And I still smile at the brand new day;
Cause I'm forgiven with grace,
And there's nothing I need to say.
Every new day that I greet,
I will lay this sin at your feet.
... Now
