Take this heart
Set me free
From the darkness
Inside me
Light me up
For the world to see
Christ, You only
Shine in me
Let it burn
O fire fire in my heart
I am alive for You
I’m gonna sing Your praise, sing Your praise
‘˜Til I’m as bright as You
O fire fire burning bright
I am alive in You
Alive in You
Take this flame
Almost dead
Bring me back
To life again
Let it burn
Let it burn
I’m gonna dance in the fire again
I’m gonna dance in the fire again
I’m gonna burn, burn for You
