“Come like a flood and saturate me now, You’re all I want…Come like the wind and sweep throughout this place, You’re all we want…”

This now has new meaning when I sing it. I woke up really early this morning because of the noise— the really loud noise created by the strong winds. As I was still waiting for my brain to send signals to my body and tell it to get up, this part of the song (“Like a Fire”) kept repeating in my mind. That’s a good sign by the way, at least I know my brain was functioning.  Anyway, it dawned on me that I’ve been singing this for the past couple of months now, but I haven’t really….really imagined and took to heart what I was singing. Hearing and seeing how strong this wind is now, I realized that the wind being described in this song is one that disturbs all in its path, awakens you from your sleep, and uproots everything that is not properly grounded (Ooh, sounds like Pedring!)… So this is what we are actually asking God to do whenever we sing this—

“…Come like the wind and sweep throughout this place, You’re all we want…”

Come and disturb my selfish agenda and all that stand in Your way as You work in me; Come and awaken me from my apathy and my slumber; Come and uproot everything in my life that is not properly grounded and not completely founded in You.
