Lyrics

I can hear the song – Of our Creator singing over creation

I played the flute – Did you dance?
I sang the wedding song over you – Were you romanced?
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

I played the flute for you – Did you dance?
I sang the wedding song over you – Were you romanced?
I played the funeral song – Did you lament?
I told you My judgments were on the land  – But did you repent? – Repent, did you repent?

For even children know – when to dance
And even children know – When to lament

What shall I liken to this generation
Like children in a market place

We played the flute  – You did not 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

CHORUS
Baptize my heart with Your fire, desire (x4)
I don’t want to be offended
I don’t want to be offended
I don’t want to be offended
When it’s all coming down

(CHORUS)

Once again You’re going to shake everything that can be shaken
Jesus, desire of the nations
The only, only safe place is in the center of the Flame
The only safe place is in You

(CHORUS)

I want to be for You – Not against You
I want to be with You where You are (all x4)

BRIDGE
I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb (all x3)
When the nations are raging against You – When the nations who are at ease
When the nations are raging against You – I wanna be with You where You are
I don’t want to be swept away with the wicked and the wave of delusion
I wanna be with You where You are – with You where You are

READING
To the son of David
To the Jewish carpenter from Nazareth
When it’s all coming down
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 is the desire of the nations
To turn it all around – In just a matter of time

I am going to choose this day to love Him, to serve Him
I am going to choose this day to cling to Him and Him alone
I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb
When it’s all coming down…

Once again You’re gonna shake everything that can be shaken.  Oh, 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 (x3)
Jesus, please come back
Creation is groaning and waiting, waiting and groaning, groaning and waiting,
Waiting and groaning, groaning and waiting – For your return
You are the only Man of Peace That we want
You are the only King that we cry to come again
Return, Jesus come – Come again Jesus

Related Bible Verses

Matthew 11:16-17 – “But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, and saying, we have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.” (also in Luke 7:31-32)

Matthew 11:6 – “And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” (also in Luke 7:23)

Since Matthew 11 and Luke 7 are talking about John the Baptist, I connect “baptize my heart with Your fire” to be the same as John saying, “he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire” (Matt 3:11 & Luke 3:16), plus that’s the only scripture close to this idea.  HOWEVER, study up on what it really means as the baptism of fire is Hell.
