[Verse 1]
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?"
[Refrain]
For even children know when to dance
And even children know when to lament
[Verse 1]
"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?"
[Refrain]
For even children know when to dance
And even children know when to lament
[Verse 2]
But what shall I liken to this generation?
Like children, in a market place
They say, "We played the flute, and you did not dance
We played the funeral song, you did not lament"
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
[Post-Chorus]
'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
[Chorus]
Baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
[Post-Chorus]
'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
[Spontaneous]
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
[Chorus]
Baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
[Post-Chorus]
'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
[Bridge 1]
'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
[Bridge 2]
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
[Spontaneous]
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
[Chorus]
Baptize my heart with Your fire, desire (It's the only safe place)
Come and baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
And baptize my heart with Your fire, desire
[Post-Chorus]
'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
[Bridge 2]
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
[Spontaneous]
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
[Bridge 2]
For I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, to Jesus
And I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb
When it's all coming down
[Outro]
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
