Fire of God

I'm beginning to feel it

So come on

Eleven, twelve, thirteen, emerging

Anxious and aware

Yearning for the burning

Searching for the sign

Then fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen

I'd see more than my share

The times I felt His fire

I was so much more alive

Seventeen, eighteen and craving

The fanning of the flame

Sometimes waiting

But always more to come

Then at nineteen and twenty He sent me

To labor for His name

A time when we were one

My will was offered up

And consumed in the fire of God

It's a power that I can't explain

As it flows and it grows

And it shapes my faith

There've been hundreds of moments I can't deny

When I brushed against the fire

Or dwelt in the fire of God

Warmed by the fire

Wondrous fire of God

A decade of twenties He led me

To learn among the world

Finding me a lady

And starting up a home

And love fueled the journey

Our thirties were melted into gold

With children of our own

The glimpse we caught of heaven's throne

Was steeled in the fire of God

It's a power that I can't explain

As it flows and it grows

And it shapes my faith

There've been hundreds of moments I can't deny

When I brushed against the fire

Or dwelt in the fire of God

Lighted words sent to purge my soul

Holy feelings, impressions

To mark the road

There've been staggering signs

And I'll watch for more

When I'm caught up in the fire

Immersed in the fire of God

I'm living for the fire

Longing for the fire

Swept up in the fire

Can't live without the fire

It's a power that I can't explain

As it flows and it grows

And it shapes my faith

There've been thousands of moments I won't deny

Forged in the fire

Lighted words sent to purge my soul

Holy feelings, impressions

To mark the road

There've been staggering signs

And I'll watch for more

When I'm caught up in the fire

Immersed in the fire of God

It's a power that I can't explain

As it flows and it grows

And it shapes my faith

There've been thousands of moments I won't deny

When I brushed against the fire

Or dwelt in the fire of God

Lighted words sent to purge my soul

Holy feelings, impressions

To mark the road

There've been staggering signs

And I'll watch for more

When I'm caught up in the fire

When I'm immersed in the fire

So filled with the fire

Awesome fire of God

Can you feel the fire?

Come and feel the fire of God
