“Higher Fire”
A choice to make, to make a break,
From earthly designs, the gods made of gold,
The lower fires, can never quench,
The raging desires, with caverns so deep;
Lord, give me the grace, the heart and the space,
To stand up with your embrace.
Refrain: I want the higher fire, burning in me, burning in me;
I have divine desire, purify me, satisfy me.
A spark of life, the hand of God
Reaching out to mine, eager to impart,
Life sweetly mine, when lived as one with you,
Singing the song, a mystical one;
The bridegroom is Christ, with the Church as His bride,
Living and giving Pure life.
Refrain
Bridge: You create me, and recreate me;
Now let your Spirit breathe in me.
You redeem me, your Precious Blood runs through me;
Now let the higher fire renew me. 2X
Refrain…Purify me, satisfy me. Purify me, satisfy me.
