Story Behind The Song

This song came out of a specific want to exalt His name in the earth. All of my songs are for this purpose, but this one I wanted to really stand out as a declaration of what and who He is. I want the listener to get a glimps of how incredibly passionate I am about His life-changing power. I had the music to the song written for about three years but could never get the lyrics down with the same potential that I feel the music has, so it wound up being one of the last songs to be finished and was the last song I did vocals on as a result

Song Description

This song goes from a classic rock riff with a soaring vocal to rap with a complex chord structure behind. It then explodes into a very intimate vocal with a Zepplin like chord run combined to a rock solid drum groove.

Lyrics

Fire
Written by: Jamey Tiffee
* Adaptation ?Holy Fire? a poem by: Brad Pettigrew
1
You are the one I adore you are the Lord evermore
*Beginning and end, inaugurated conclusion
*Reproving darkness by exposing the illusion
*Reveal intent of passionate desires
*Oh Lord I love you; you?re my all consuming fire
2
You are the Lord Most High; you are the fire in my eyes
*Seethe tested truth defacing hollow pretenses
*holy conviction enveloping hells provenience
Shut up in my bones where He works alone
Turn up the fire I am purified
Chorus 1
I can feel you, as you burn through the parts of my life
Going through passions and those things that taunt me
I can feel you, burn away the parts of me not you
Until there?s you in me and I have ceased to be
3
You are the Holy One, you are the only one
*Intense exposure through scaring flames, in the heart of men
*Removing dross by entombing shame
*Sanctification unlocks holiness
From the flames I am born of your name
Chorus
(repeat chorus 1)
I can feel you; burn away the shakels of my life
From captivity to one who is set free
I can feel you, and that?s where I want to be, you and me
Where I want to be
4
There is no place I?d rather be than here at your feet
I lived a life full of lust and of decadence
But never felt alive till I stood in your presence
I watched people I knew and called my friend
Chase dreams and things that burn in sin
With tears they wail from the jail
And live their own private hell
One way or another we all burn
I?m going to burn in your presence the smell of my flesh as incense
Goes up before thee that?s where I want to be is you burning in me
