Lord,

The new life you gave me, when I first met you?

You put fire in my heart the next breath I drew.

That fire’s been flickering for others to see,

But please start it glowing, that flame inside me.

I’m your vessel to use to give hope in the night.

Holy Spirit, I’m yours, burn your flame bright.

Burn brighter Dear Spirit, let your flame grow,

So others will see you, so the world will know.

Spirit rush in, make that Holy Flame hot!

A firestorm for you, in my heart and my thoughts.

A storm of great strength, that only you can control,

A fire so hot it will singe my own soul.

Let it singe every person in my life that I touch.

Grow your Spirit in me to love others so much.

Humble my heart and increase your great fire,

That firestorm in me, Lord, take those flames higher!
