Intoxicating

I talked in the fall about how I want to be obsessed with God. That I wanted him to consume my mind and be in love with him more than anything in this World. Well, I came across this song by "The David Crowder Band" the other day called "Intoxicating." I have heard lots of David Crowder and am a huge fan, but never heard this song before! Wow, this song hit home in so many ways for what I want to feel like towards God! So awesome! Especially the last lines of the song,

"If I'm out of my mind it's You, You
'Cause I'm crazy in love with You, You
Inebriated by You, You
'Cause I'm head over heels with You, You"

I want to be intoxicated with God, obsessed with God, so in love with God that He consumes my mind, and that no matter what I am doing that he is in the back of my mind... Just as when I love someone I don't care what people think of my actions to show my love, I want this to be even moreso with Christ, I want to do what He wants from me, no matter if some may think I am crazy!
I want to be able to truly sing this song! I want this to be my prayer!

So, here is the whole song:

"Intoxicating" by The David Crowder Band


Intoxicating You are to me
Illuminating You are to see
Truly breathtaking You are to breathe
Sending my head spinning You are, You see

And I've lost my mind, I'm sure to find
Need to apologize for my
Lack of inhibition, for my belligerent condition
But with You this near I'm dizzy

Inebriating You are to me
Completely captivating You are yo see
Sending my world spinning You are, You see

And now I find a blurry line
Here between You and I
Raise the cup, drink 'til I'm full
Sing 'til I can't, 'til my voice is gone
And my head is spinning

CHORUS:
La, la dee da
La dee da, dee da
Dee da da da
Hey la, la dee da
La dee da, dee da
Dee da da da

Illuminating You are to see
Truly breathtaking You are to breathe
Sending my head spinning You are, You see

And now I find a blurry line
Here between you and I
Raise the cup, drink 'til I'm full
Sing 'til I can't, 'til my voice is gone
And my head is spinning dizzy

If I'm out of my mind it's You, You
'Cause I'm crazy in love with You, You
Inebriated by You, You
'Cause I'm head over heels with You, You

Hey Jadon,
This is a great song. I think it's interesting how when we're sold out to Christ, we're completely counter-cultural. I mean, other people are consumed by their desire to be intoxicated by substance. It's really great that you want to lack inhibition for the sake of the One who is ultimately in control. Way to blur the lines!
