YOU WILL KEEP THE FIRES BURNING
You will keep the fires burning
We’re standing in the desert of dry bones,
But still we see Your life
Walking through the valley of shadows
But holding onto light
And we’re waiting, waiting on You God
Our hearts will trust, trust in who You are.
God who keeps our fires burning
Burning through the darkest night
See the hope in our hearts, the faith in our eyes
You can move the highest mountain
You can keep our dreams alive
You’re the joy of our hearts, You’re the fire in our eyes
Light up our lives with holy flame
All for the honour of Your name
Give us the strength to face the day
Light up our lives with holy flame
All for the honour of Your name
Give us the strength to face the day
You’re the fire in our eyes
Matt Redman & Jonas Myrin
