Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:

Chorus
Light the fire and burn it deep within.
Take us higher into the rushing wind.
Open our hearts to your love and let it shine around,
And we can share it all around.

1 Listen to the word of God,
... Coming to ignite the fire of love!

2 Alleluia is our song,

Bridge:  We can let it shine around,
... Fire! Fire! Light the fire of love!
