Lyrics
Chorus (x2)
Fire fire
Fall on us
Start a new revival
Fire fall on us
Verse 1
Like it did on the day of Pentecost
Rushing in like a mighty wind
Fill us up with Your presence and Your power
Lord do it again
We are here crying out on one accord
Let the heavens touch the earth
Come and light a passion in our hearts
And Lord let it burn
Chorus
Fire fire
Fall on us
Start a new revival
Fire fall on us
Bridge
My prayer tonight is that God would be glorified
And that the world will come to know who He is
Overwhelmed by Your glory and Your grace
You consume us with Your love
Give us more and more of who You are
We can’t get enough
Chorus (x2)
Fire fire
Fall on us
Start a new revival
Fire fall on us

You
You’re the only one who can bring new life

You’re the only one who can light this fire

Meaning & Inspiration
“Fire” by CeCe Winans is a prayer for revival. The chorus repeats, “Fire, fall on us, start a new revival,” and the verse recalls the day of Pentecost with the line “rushing in like a mighty wind.” That is close to Acts 2:1-4, where the Spirit came with wind and tongues of fire.
The singers ask God to fill them with His presence and power, and to let the heavens touch the earth. They say they are crying out “on one accord,” another echo of the Pentecost account. Another verse prays that God would be glorified and the world would know who He is.
The bridge says, “You’re the only one who can bring new life,” and “the only one who can light this fire.” The song then returns to the chorus with call-and-response ad-libs. Its message is a request for the Spirit’s fire and for renewal in the church.
