Lyrics
Oooh we make room for you
Oooh we make room for you
Oooh we open up our hearts
Have your way in us
We open up our hearts
Have your way in us
Oooh whatever you wanna say
Oooh whatever you wanna do
Oooh whatever you wanna say
Oooh whatever you wanna do
()
Oooh my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for your name
Oooh I wanna burn, burn for you
Only you
Only you
I wanna burn, burn for you
Only you
Only you
Ooooh Burn with an everlasting fire,
It won't run out
It cannot be put out
It cannot be put out because I burn for you
(I burn for you)
Oooh with passion in my heart
And hope running through my veins
I will burn for you, I'll burn for you alone
With a hope and a future before me
Your forgiveness all around me
And your Spirit living in me
I will burn for you
Oooh and they'll see me,
And they'll see you
When I will burn bright for you
Cause it's your love and my heart is the wick
I wanna burn
Because?
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for your name
(Sing Till end)

Meaning & Inspiration
The Wick presents devotion as a life made available to God. Its opening lines ask for room to hear and follow, while the central image joins a human heart to the flame of divine love. The repeated desire to burn for the name of God conveys sustained worship rather than a passing burst of emotion. Hope, forgiveness, and the indwelling Spirit become the fuel for visible faithfulness.
The flame imagery recalls a lamp that remains lit, and the prayer for God to have His way aligns with a posture of surrender. The song also links inward renewal with outward witness: when a life burns brightly, others are meant to see God rather than merely the worshiper. Its language is intimate and expectant, holding together personal consecration and public witness. The result is a worship song centered on availability, endurance, and a love for God that cannot easily be extinguished.
