A Vision of You

"Awaken what's inside of me.
Tune my heart to all You are in me.
Even though you're here, God come.
May the vision of You be the death of me.
And even though You've given everything.
Jesus come, O Jesus come!"

These are some of the words from "Vision of You", a song written and arranged by Shane and Shane, a well known Contemporary Christian band. I've heard many of this group's songs, but I'd never heard this particular one until tonight. After I got home from Marching Band, I flipped open my laptop and turned on some music. "Vision of You" was the first thing to come on. Usually, when I play music in my room, it's merely background noise, but this sng really caught my attention.

When you really listen to it, "Vision of You" seems to be nothing more than a prayer put to music. This prayer askes God to come into our hearts an turn them completely to him. It continues by asking God to completely overpower us and to show himself to us. This is the prayer we should all be praying, a desprate cry for more of him. It truly gives us an example of what it means to be "always hungry, never satisfied". We should always want more of God, and we should never he happy with the amount we get. As we learn to spend time with him, our thirst for him will partly be quenched, but we will never stop thirsting. The only way to satisfy you hunger for the Living God is by commiting to spending time alone with him. That is the only way we will ever see a Vision of You.

I want to see the Vision, how about you?
