Lyrics
All the days of my life
I will dwell in Your house
Everything that You give is perfect for me
Every day of my life
Lord, I yearn to hear Your voice
Every thing that You give is all that I need
All the days of my life
I will dwell in Your house
Everything that You give is perfect for me
Every day of my life
Lord, I yearn to hear Your voice
Everything that You give is all that I need
I don't wanna leave the same way I came
Lord, I know there's power in Your name
To set me on fire again
All of my burden I lay down
You are able to turn my life around
To set me on fire again
Ei ei ei ah ei eh eh yah
Ah ah ah Hallelujah
I don't wanna leave the same way I came
Lord, I know there's power in Your name
To set me on fire again
All of my burden I lay down
You are able to turn my life around
To set me on fire again
Ei ei ei ah ei eh eh yah
Ah ah ah Hallelujah
I don't wanna leave the same way I came
Lord, I know there's power in Your name
To set me on fire again
All of my burden I lay down
You are able to turn my life around
To set me on fire again
Ei ei ei ah ei eh eh yah
Ah ah ah Hallelujah
I don't wanna leave the same way I came
Lord, I know there's power in Your name
To set me on fire again
All of my burden I lay down
You are able to turn my life around
To set me on fire again
Ei ei ei ah ei eh eh yah
Ah ah ah Hallelujah

Meaning & Inspiration
Set Me on Fire (Chant) centers on a life of continual dependence on God. The opening lines echo the desire to dwell in God’s house and to hear His voice, while the refrain asks for renewal rather than a mere change in circumstances. It presents God’s presence as the place where burdens are surrendered and spiritual life is rekindled.
The repeated words give the song the character of a prayer that grows more urgent as it continues. Its imagery aligns closely with Psalm 27:4, where dwelling in the Lord’s house expresses fellowship and devotion. The call to lay down every burden also recalls the biblical practice of entrusting cares to God. Through its simple, repeated petition, the song keeps worship, renewal, and surrender in clear focus.
