Misty Edwards - Baptize My Heart lyrics

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
No, I don't wanna be offended
No, I don't wanna be offended
When it's all coming down
No, 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

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
No, I don't wanna be offended
God, I don't wanna be offended
When it's all coming down
I don't wanna be offended, no no no
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

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
God, I don't wanna be offended
I don't wanna be offended
When it's all coming down
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

'Cause, I wanna be for You, not against You
I wanna be with You where You are
I wanna be for You, not against You
I wanna be with You where You are
God, I wanna be for You, not against You
I wanna be with You where You are
Yeah, I wanna be for You, not against You
I wanna be with You where You are

And I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
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
And I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
And I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb

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, 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 baptize my heart with Your fire, I desire

'Cause, I don't wanna be offended
God, I don't wanna be offended
I don't wanna be offended
When it's all coming down
I don't wanna be offended
No, I don't wanna be offended
No, I don't wanna be offended
When it's all coming down

And I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
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
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
