Fresh Life Worship - Holy Fire Lyrics
Lyrics
You break up the night
With Your words You dress the skies
Hanging sparks in the dark
You are never-ending
Make us brave with Your strength inside our veins
And a faith that won't stop dreaming
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
You break up the night
With Your words You dress the skies
Hanging sparks in the dark
You are never-ending
Make us brave with Your strength inside our veins
And a faith that won't stop dreaming
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
You alone are God
You alone are God
You alone are God
(We want to see Your power)
You alone are God
(To see You brightly shining)
You alone are God
(We want to know Your goodness)
You alone are God
(We want to see Your glory)
You alone are God
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us
We want to see Your power in us
Holy Fire burn inside our hearts
We need to feel Your touch
We want to see Your power in us

Fresh Life Worship :: Holy Fire
Meaning & Inspiration
Fresh Life Worship’s "Holy Fire," released on October 13, 2015, stands as a vibrant declaration of divine power and a fervent prayer for spiritual awakening. The song immediately establishes God’s unparalleled majesty as the Creator, painting vivid imagery of His cosmic authority. From the opening lines, we are reminded that it is God who orchestrates the celestial dance, breaking through darkness with His spoken word and adorning the vast expanse of the sky with brilliant, never-ending light. This portrays an eternal God whose very utterance brings order and beauty, a truth echoed in Psalm 33:6, which declares that "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth," and consistent with Job 26:7, revealing His boundless power in suspending the earth.
The song then transitions from worship of God's omnipotence to an intimate plea for His indwelling strength. The yearning expressed is for a divine empowerment that makes individuals "brave," infusing their very being with God’s might, and fostering a "faith that won't stop dreaming." This is a profound desire for a trust in God so deep and persistent that it continually seeks the impossible, refusing to be limited by human perception or circumstance. Such a longing resonates deeply with Philippians 4:13, where Paul proclaims, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength," and calls to mind the unwavering hope of Abraham, who "hoped against hope" (Romans 4:18), trusting in God’s promises despite all odds.
The central invocation of the song, "Holy Fire burn inside our hearts," is rich with biblical symbolism, representing a multifaceted encounter with God's presence. Throughout Scripture, fire signifies God’s manifest presence, as seen in the burning bush that Moses encountered (Exodus 3:2) and the guiding pillar of fire for the Israelites (Exodus 13:21). More profoundly, this "Holy Fire" speaks to God's purifying work, refining hearts like a "refiner’s fire" (Malachi 3:2-3), burning away impurities and sanctifying believers. It also evokes the powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit, which descended as "tongues of fire" at Pentecost (Acts 2:3-4), empowering the early church with divine courage and witness. The request to "feel Your touch" and "see Your power in us" is therefore a longing for God’s active, transformative, and empowering presence, not just observed externally but experienced intimately and demonstrated tangibly through transformed lives.
The song culminates in a resonant declaration: "You alone are God." This repeated affirmation serves as a powerful cornerstone of monotheistic faith, aligning with foundational scriptures such as Isaiah 45:5, where God states, "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." This isn't merely a theological statement but a surrender of self, acknowledging God's absolute sovereignty and unmatched glory. The additional expressions of wanting to "see Your power," "brightly shining," "know Your goodness," and "see Your glory" all flow from this recognition of God's unique identity. "Holy Fire" by Fresh Life Worship therefore functions as a comprehensive spiritual anthem, guiding the worshiper from an awe-filled recognition of God's creation to a passionate prayer for His indwelling presence, power, and purification, ultimately leading to a complete surrender to His singular authority. It compels us to seek a deeper, more active relationship with the divine, one where God’s fire not only purifies but also empowers us to live out His glory in a world longing for His touch.
