Someone on here may know about these songs ;-) by Shane Barnard. The words are incredible and i have prayed them many times since first hearing them. just for the Lord to take my love away- for Himself- so that i have none to give to the "world" or to my"self". I get so tired of fighting to try not to love the world- or fighting some lust for materialism (or whatever) I pray that He will take my love away.

"Take my Love Away"- Shane B.

Lord, i'm giving all i am with everything i am
holy and annointed one, to You i lift my hands
i surrender all i have

take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
oh Lord, i've given it my best to take my love away

if i could run around the world to fan the fire in me
if only i could swim the ocean wide to take my lve away
from the world and me

take my love away, take my love away, take my love away
oh Lord, i've given it my best to take my love away

i think i read i cannot love the world and love You
take my love and plant it deep where life is found in You
plant it in the heart of Thee, i'm tired of trying to believe
i've worn out all my strategy
there's nothing i can do oh Lord to...

take my love away

-----------------
I have truly found the answer!: more of Him and less of me!

"The Answer" -Shane B.

i've tried more of me
and i've come up dry
trading You for things
things that go away
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You

i have found the answer is
to love You and be loved by You alone
[b]You crucify me and the world to me
and i will only boast in You[/b]


i'm so satisfied
at the thought of You
growing up in me
covering everything
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
my happiness is found in less
of me and more of You
------------------------

thanks for letting me share!

One thing that seems missing from here sometimes is the focus on "intimacy" with the Lord. Let's not forget that He so desires this.

In Him, chanin
