A FIRE BLAZES DEEP INSIDE
DARKNESS HAS NO PLACE TO HIDE

THE KINDLING IS REPLENISHED WITH KINDNESS AND GOOD DEEDS
THE EVIL BEGINS TO RESEED

THE FIRE BURNS EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH
DESTROYING SIN’S EVIL WRATH

THIS FIRE IS SO HAPPY THAT IT CAN SING A SONG
A SONG OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND NOT OF WRONG

THIS IS NOT A REAL FIRE BUT A SPIRITUAL FIRE INDEED
THIS IS NOT A WANT BUT IT IS A NEED

THIS FIERY FURNACE IS NEEDED TO GET YOU THROUGH LIFE
AND TO HELP YOU ESCAPE TURMOIL AND STRIFE

THE BLAZING FIRE CONTINUES TO BURN
BUT THEN IT TAKES A SUDDEN TURN

AS IF ON THE DROP OF A DIME
THE FIRE HAS BEEN FROZEN IN TIME

A PLEASURE HAS LURED THE SPIRIT AWAY
AND THE FIRE MIGHT BE OUT TO STAY

THE FIRE IS OUT AND AS COLD AS A STONE
INSTEAD OF PRAYING THE SPIRIT WANTS TO TALK ON THE PHONE

INSTEAD OF RED THE FIRE IS BLUE
IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO

BUT THEN THE HOLY GHOST KNOCKS ON THE SPIRIT’S DOOR
THE DOOR IS OPENED AND THE FIRE IS BLAZING ONCE MORE

IT IS CLEAR, THE SPIRIT HAS CHOSEN
THE SPIRIT DOES NOT LIKE ITS FIRE FROZEN
