Don Moen's song "Burn" is a worshipful prayer of surrender and devotion. The lyrics express a desire for God to remove personal virtues so that only Christ remains, and ask to be written into God's greater story and song. The song emphasizes giving everything for God's glory, acknowledging that all else will fade. It repeatedly declares that God's name be glorified, reflecting a heart fully yielded to His purposes. The overall message is one of complete abandonment to God's will and a longing for His honor above all.

Burn away my virtues
May there be just You in me
Lord write me into Your great story
Lord write me into Your great song
Take all I have
It�??s for Your glory
One day all else will be gone
Give me grace to follow
Only You can lead me home
Lord write me into Your great story
Lord write me into Your great song
Take all I have
It�??s for Your glory
One day all else will be gone
One day all else will be gone
Your Name be glorified glorified
Your Name be glorified glorified
Your Name be glorified glorified
Your Name be glorified glorified
Lord write me into Your great story
Lord write me into Your great song
Take all I have
It�??s for Your glory
One day all else will be gone
Lord write me into Your great story
Lord write me into Your great song
Take all I have
It�??s for Your glory
One day all else will be gone
One day all else will be gone
Your Name be glorified glorified
Your Name be glorified glorified
