Obsession
by Kari Jobe
Theology & Meaning
A devotion-centered worship song that expresses wholehearted desire for God, calling the heart back to first love and focused worship. The song forms worship as single-hearted devotion, aligning with Scripture's call to love God with the whole heart and to seek Him above all. It encourages reordered desires shaped by Christ.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use it in a quieter set where the room can focus. Keep the arrangement simple and the melody clear. This is effective paired with a short call to devotion or a moment of reflection.
Arrangement Tips
Start with a minimal bed (piano or acoustic with light pad) so the lyric carries the moment. Build gradually by adding texture, not volume, and keep space between phrases for the room to breathe. If you extend, repeat a simple chorus/tag and keep the dynamics steady so the congregation stays with you.
