I must be going crazy...

Earlier I was playing bass in my room for the song 'One Pure and Holy Passion' by Mark Altrogge... and as I sang along I kept on going and sang a verse that wasn't on the page when I looked down... I went online to check if the verse existed anywhere and I can't find anything like it anywhere... (I'm thinking it might be part of another song that was used in a medley I might have heard) I’m wondering whether I’m going crazy or I just made the verse up in my head!? Can anyone help...

The song normally goes as follows:

D F#/C# Bm Bm/A
Give me one pure and holy passion

G\t Em Asus A
Give me one magnificent obsession

D F#m Bm Bm/A
Jesus, give me one glorious ambition for my life

G A D
To know and follow hard after You.

D F#m G D
To know and follow hard after You

D F#m G D
To grow as Your disciple in the truth

Bm F#m
This world is empty, pale, and poor

Bm E
Compared to knowing You, my Lord

G G/A D
Lead me on and I will run after You

(TO WHICH I FOLLOWED)

D F#m/C# B Bm/A
There is no other life worth living

G Em Asus A
Than the one surrendered to be given

D F#m
To the one who has suffered through~
Bm Bm/A
the pain of sin and death

G A D
I want to live my life just for You


(I usually end up speeding through or mumblings the third line, which leads me to believe I made it up or have changed some of the key words)

I'm not familiar w/ this particular song, but I do know EXACTLY what your going through. Whenever the Holy Spirit gives me a song, it always seems so familiar to me that I think I took it from someone else. Just 2 days ago, I was meditating on the Lord and I got the melody to a song. I had to call my friend and ask her if she knew the song. I knew the song (in my spirit) so well that I thought for sure it was one that we must have sang in church last Sunday.

Sounds to me like the Lord wants to give you a new song for His glory!
