Unintentional worship songs: Ryan Adams - Desire
Tagged Under : lyrics, music, Ryan Adams, worship
Sometimes when listening to great music I think, man this song would be such an amazing worship song if they knew Jesus. A changed phrase here and there, changed object of worship, of course a changed heart, and what a powerful worship song it would be. One great example of this to me is a song by Ryan Adams called Desire(<- playable audio link), off his amazing album Demolition.
Not just in lyrics, but the whole vibe of the song, the mood, it’s a very worshipful, mindful, passionate song.
Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The waters higher.
DesireWith no secrets. No obsession.
This time I’m speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
DesireYou know me. You don’t mind waiting.
You just can’t show me, but God I’m praying,
That you’ll find me, and that you’ll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Man that last verse always gets me, intense. Ryan, chicks will tire but God won’t tire brotha, he’s after you.

I absolutely love this song. It was the first song that played at my wedding while the mothers were lighting the candles, and it always gets the wifey in the mood for her “special hug.”
There was also a great ending to a House episode where they used the last verse.
I love special hugs.
I love special hugs from my wife. I need to find this song! Thank you for the real ministry that happens on this page… LOL. This is useful!
