Lord, burn my heart With the light of your Spirit Set Fire to my soul
I want to live for You forever God consume me in the flames Of your blazing love May my life be a burnt offering to You
Use me, O Lord As a match To light the world
Ignite me, God Then let loose my soul As a leaf set afire Fluttering in your mighty wind Spinning across the fields of this world, Heating everything I touch
May the fire spread to all who will hear So that they too may burn with passion For the One and only God
God use me My life My testimony
Make my mouth a furnace May my words consume the world May my tongue burn for You May those who hear me burn like the Sun May I be as the brightest star in heaven
God, let your fire spread It cannot be contained in me I'm but a single blade of grass The flames reach out from me Longing for more to burn
Spread my flame May it become a blaze
Reach across the fields And through the woods And up the mountains
Lord, may I burn across the sea To reach the ends of the earth With the fire of your Spirit
May You kindle this flame within me Never let it flicker Never let it wink But let it burn brightly in my eyes And pour out from my lungs
You have set a fire within me Your Spirit burns in me A flame that cannot be quenched
I am melted by your love
But the world is cold It lives without warmth And it finds no light of fire It knows not of the flame It seeks warmth but has no match No flint that will ignite it
In your hands You hold many torches Lord I am but one Throw your torches down on the world So that it too may burn Warm with your love Glowing with your hope and peace Throw your fire on them So that they may know The comfort of your flame So they too can light their paths And see in dark places
Oh, dear God You have ignited a flame within me A flame that cannot be quenched Now let your light shine And let your heat rise Let my faith burn Until the world is all ablaze
God set this world on fire As You have done for me Lord set your world on fire Let your children burn So by your light the world may see
