Verse 1 I want to turn up the intensity. I want to care enough to reach beyond the life I live, to give when giving’s tough. I know someone searches for hope, someone longs to be free. I want to feel their need so strong that it pulls the best from me. I should go. I should speak. Why am I standing still? If I don’t turn up the intensity, maybe my guilty conscience will. Chorus 1 Turn up the intensity. Turn up the desire. Something needs to change inside of me, so everything burns brighter. They need to taste. They need to see. They need to know what grace can do. Turn up the intensity. Let this desire break through. Bridge I know someone searches for hope. Someone longs to be free. Then the truth breaks through— that someone is me. I am the one who needs the hope. I am the one who needs release. I bring You all my broken pieces. You trade them for Your peace. The weight lifts. The chains fall. And something changes as they do— I should. I should. becomes I want to. I WANT TO. Verse 2 Now I’ve been given what I needed. I’ve been healed where I was torn. I have felt the weight grow lighter, felt a part of me reborn. Someone else is searching for hope, someone else longs to be free. Now that I’ve felt what healing can do, their need pulls harder at me. I want to go. I want to speak. There’s no holding back this feeling. I don’t have to force the intensity when brokenness gives way to healing. Chorus 2 Turn up the intensity. Turn up the desire. Something has changed inside of me, and everything burns brighter. I’ve tasted. I’ve seen. I know what grace can do. Turn up the intensity. Your desire has broken through. Verse 3 I know someone searches for hope, someone longs to be free. And now I know how different a single life can be. I want to find the hurting. I want to tell them why. I want to say, There’s more than this. I’ve seen the other side. I want to go. I want to speak. There’s something I can give. The intensity keeps rising when I know how hope can live. Final Chorus Turn up the intensity. Turn up the desire. Something has changed inside of me, and everything burns brighter. I’ve tasted. I’ve seen. I know what grace can do. Turn up the intensity. Your desire has broken through. Outro I couldn’t turn up the intensity. No matter how I tried. You healed the brokenness in me— and turned it up inside.
