Lyrics

Verse 1


There’s a grace when the heart is under fire 
Another way when the walls are closing in 
And when I look at the space between 
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone


Chorus 1


There was another in the fire 
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters 
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I’ve been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden 
Where another died for me


Tag


There is another in the fire


Verse 2


All my debt left for dead beneath the waters 
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore 
And should I fall in the space between 
What remains of me and this reckoning 
Either way I won’t bow
To the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone


Chorus 2


There is another in the fire 
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters 
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding 
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body 
And now that power lives in me


Bridge


And I can see the light in the darkness 
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us 
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us


Verse 3


There is no other name
But the Name that is Jesus
He who was and still is
And will be through it all
So come what may in the space between 
All the things unseen and this reckoning 
I know I will never be alone


Chorus 3


There’ll be another in the fire 
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters 
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding 
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle 
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

Meaning & Inspiration

Another In The Fire presents divine presence as the answer to pressure, uncertainty, and spiritual conflict. Its central images recall the faithful companion in the furnace and God making a way through overwhelming waters. The movement from past rescue to present confidence and future hope gives the song a steady confession: isolation does not have the final word when Christ remains near.

The lyrics also connect freedom with the cross, the empty grave, and the living power of Jesus. Darkness bows, prison walls fall, and no barrier remains between the worshipper and God. The repeated space between former life and present reckoning becomes a place where grace is discovered rather than abandonment feared. Its final chorus receives coming battles with joy, not because suffering is minimized, but because God’s faithful presence is treated as certain. That emphasis closely echoes biblical accounts of deliverance and the promise that God accompanies His people through fire and flood.
