Topic: FIRE (08/04/22)
Lord send Your holy fire
so that we may never tire
of Your holiness
Of Your beauty

May we never think it's a duty
to burn for You

Not with a destructive flame
But let us never be the same

Let us shout
Bring it about
The glory of You

Set a fire in my heart
For I never want to part
from intimate communion with you

Take this tiny flame
I never want to be the same
I want to shine for You
Show the world the fire
that's true


Holy fire fall on me
Purify my words
My thoughts
Make me free
Of all that is not pleasing to You.

Set my heart aflame
So I'll never be the same
I don't want the fire to go out

Come on church let's give a SHOUT
to the glory God has for this world

Lord set our hearts on fire
Don't let us drown it with neglect
Instead may we grow it with respect
for all that You have done

Lord, the fire extinguisher I put away
Instead of critical words
I want to pray
Blessing upon all of the church

We must never ever lurch
away from all that You have for us.

Like Isaiah, this is my desire
That in my bones Your word ‘s a fire
Let Your words be a fire on my lips
May Your Word ever eclipse
Any counterfeit fire of the world


Purifying my heart
Setting my life apart
from those things that distract from you

This is my vow
Cleanse my heart now
Let it shine to bring You glory
May I shine as I tell Your story

I lay aside each and every unclean thing
All of it will only bring
Heartache

This is my desire
Not to acquire
Things that rust
For in You I trust

Things that break
For it's You who make
my life worthwhile
You make me smile.

Like the gold ore in the furnace
Burn us
Cleanse us
Burn away the dross
I count it all as loss

Those things that do
Not come from you
Any trophy or prize
That cause pride to arise

That turn my eyes on me
Instead of You
Seeking self praise
Instead of to raise
My hands to worship you

Burn my life with Your holy fire
Cleanse it from each unholy desire
that separates me from You
May I keep this always in view

I love You Lord
You're my adored
Set my life afire

Thoughts
Deeds
Can be weeds
cluttering the gardens of our life
Bringing such strife

Purify our hearts
Extinguish Satan's darts
That want to destroy
What You would grow

He tries to bring us low
But You raise us high
in purity now
Not bye and by

Set my heart on fire Lord
In my heart it strikes a chord
To sing with passion for You
To write only what is true

Your glory
Your story
Rising from the ashes of improper desire
Shining with that holy fire

You are my joy
You are my bliss
My only aim is this

to bring you glory
With every story
that I tell

Let the words You’ve set on fire
Become in me a holy choir
Singing praise to You.

Lord, let the fire burn
causing me to ever yearn
for more of you

Lord, send Your holy fire
