Baptize My Heart - Misty Edwards

And I can hear the song of the Creator

Singing over creation

«I played the flute, did you dance?

And I sang the wedding song over you, were you romanced?

And I played the funeral dirge, did you lament?

I told you My judgments were in the land

But did you, did you repent?»

For even children know when to dance

And even children know when to lament

«And I played the flute for you, did you dance?

And I sang the wedding song over you, were you romanced?

And I played the funeral song, did you lament?

I told you My judgments were in the land

But did you repent, repent

Did you repent?»

For even children know when to dance

And even children know when to lament

But what shall I liken to this generation?

Like children, in a market place

They say, «We played the flute, and You did not the dance

We played the funeral song, You did not lament»

Oh God, teach me how to dance

How to lament

Show me what You’re looking for

What kind of response You’re asking of me

Baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

'Cause I don’t wanna be offended

I don’t wanna be offended

God, I don’t wanna be offended

When it’s all coming down

For once again

Shake everything that can be shaken

Jesus, desire of the nations

The, the only safe place

Is in the center of the flame

The only, the only safe place is in You

When the nations are raging against You

I wanna be with You, where You are, God

I don’t wanna be swept away with the wicked

And the wave of delusion

I wanna be with You where You are, with You where You are

Baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire (It's the only safe place)

Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

And I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb

And I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus

And I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb

To the Son of David

To the Jewish carpenter from Nazareth

When it’s all coming down

And when the nations are raging against Him

I pledge my allegiance to Jesus Christ of Nazareth

The Jewish King, the Son of David, the slain Lamb

Oh, for I know that He is the magnificent obsession

And He’s the desire of the nations

They’ve turned it all around and just a matter of time

I choose this day to love Him

I’ma choose this day to cling to Him and Him alone

For I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus

And I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb

When it’s all coming down

Once again, You’re gonna shake everything that can be shaken

O Righteous Judge of the nations

Beautiful Bridegroom

Lover of my soul

Do what You have to do, just come

Come make the wrong things right

Come make the darkness light

Come turn the world upside down

'Cause there is no peace

Until You come back, Jesus

Until You return, return, return

Return, return, return

Return, return, return

Jesus, please come back

Creation’s groaning and waiting, waiting and groaning

Groaning and waiting, and waiting and groaning

Groaning and waiting for Your return

You’re the only Man of peace that we want

You’re the only King that we cry to come again

Return, Jesus, now

Come again, Jesus
