Burn Me Up

I had the wonderful opportunity to go home this weekend and spend some time with my family. What made it even more special was that it was just us.

In the last two years, we have added two wonderful men to my family. Two of my three sisters (yes, there are 4 of us!) have tied the knot and I absolutely adore my brothers-in-law. However, when presented with the opportunity to spend time with just my sisters and my parents, I jumped for joy.

Jennie (sister #3) and I drove to NC on Friday night. On the way there, we listened to Shane and Shane's new CD - Pages. It was fantastic. I will humbly admit to letting the "fire" in my relationship with GOD die out in the last month or so. I haven't been diligent about having a quiet time or going to church. I know these are things that speak to Bryan, and I have felt really convicted about needing to "step it up" again.

I was listening to song "Burn Us Up" when I felt HIM move in me, and I simply wanted to share those lyrics with you today...

Burn Us Up
-Shane and Shane

There were three
Before the king
There were three who wouldn’t bow to him
For when you heard
The music play
And you were standing you would burn.
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire

We give up!
We give up!
We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!


The king enraged
At what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire

We give up!
We give up!
We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us
Come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t, we will burn!

Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire

We give up!
We give up!
We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

I pray that we would all long to burn in the furnace of HIS desire.
