Fire
Igniting Redemption: A Journey Through Holy Flames
Lyrics
Fire, holy flame, walk with me, walk with me,
Expressing a desire for the presence of a divine force, comparing it to fire as a symbol of purity and holiness.
Fire, holy flame, take my heart and burn away this darkness in your fire.
Surrendering the heart to the transformative power of the divine, seeking to overcome darkness through the metaphorical fire.
I did not know that I was blind until I looked into your eyes,
Realization of spiritual blindness, acknowledging a newfound understanding upon encountering the divine.
I did not know that I was lost until you found me,
Recognition of being lost in life, with the divine being the guiding force that brings meaning and direction.
I did not know I was a fool until I heard the words you speak,
Acknowledging ignorance and foolishness before the divine wisdom expressed in words.
They are Spirit, they are life, they are...
Attributing significance to the spiritual and life-giving nature of the divine words.
Fire, holy flame, walk with me, walk with me,
A repeated call for the divine presence to accompany the individual on their spiritual journey.
Fire, holy flame, take my hand, and I will follow you into your fire.
Committing to follow the divine guidance, even into challenging or transformative experiences represented by the fire.
I did not know my savage thirst until you lead me to your well,
Recognition of unquenched spiritual thirst, finding fulfillment in the divine well of wisdom.
I did not know I lived in chains until you freed me,
Acknowledgment of living in metaphorical chains, liberated by the divine presence.
I did not know I was afraid until you gave your perfect love,
Realization of fear overcome by the perfect love offered by the divine.
Love that casts out all my fear.
Emphasizing the transformative power of divine love in dispelling fear.
Fire, holy flame, walk with me, walk with me, yeah,
Reiterating the request for the divine presence to walk alongside in the journey.
Fire, holy flame, take my soul, that I may dwell forever in your fire.
Expressing a longing to dwell eternally in the transformative and purifying nature of the divine fire.
And when I feel the flame within this burning, white-hot light of truth, my body trembles 'til I fear my flesh will leave my bones,
Describing a profound experience of truth, where the intensity of the divine presence is overwhelming and transformative.
My soul is filled with mourning such as I have never known,
Conveying a deep emotional response to the divine truth, involving trembling and a sense of mourning.
A piercing, aching sorrow, heavy as a grave stone,
Depicting the weight of sorrow as a metaphorical grave stone, emphasizing the gravity of the emotional experience.
And I cry out, ""I am ruined, oh, I am undone,""
Expressing a sense of personal ruin and vulnerability in the face of the divine.
Then, like Isaiah, you bring burning coals to touch my tongue, cleansing me from my iniquity,
Drawing a parallel to the biblical figure Isaiah, symbolizing purification and forgiveness through divine intervention.
Under the shadow of your cross, you shelter me,
Seeking refuge and protection under the divine presence, particularly under the symbolism of the cross.
You shelter me...
Reiterating the shelter and protection found in the divine.
In your fire, holy flame, walk with me, walk with me,
Continuing to invite the divine presence to walk alongside in the spiritual journey.
Oh, fire, holy flame, take my hand, take my heart, take my soul,
Expanding the surrender by offering the hand, heart, and soul to the transformative power of the divine fire.
Fire, holy flame, walk with me, take my hand and walk with me, walk with me.
A repeated call for the divine presence to walk alongside, emphasizing the hand as a symbol of guidance.
I will follow you,
Reaffirmation of the commitment to follow the divine guidance.
And I will follow you,
-I will follow you.
