Jaci Velasquez - Fuego de Amor Lyrics
Lyrics
Hay un lugar
Un faro de luz
Justo en el mar
De tu inmensidad
Tierra que puedes pisar
Cuando en el alma hay tempestad
Fuego que arrasa con toda adversidad
Coro:
Luz que alumbra toda oscuridad
Viento que desgarra la ansiedad
Alas que te llevan a volar
Luz divina guia de tu andar.
Fuego de amor
Que quiero encender
Con tu resplandor
Se fue la soledad
No dejes que muera mi paz
Escucha el silencio
De este coraz?n
Que busca la llama de ese amor
Coro:
Hay un lugar en ti
Para vivir yeah
Abre ya las pueras de tu coraz?n

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on August 4, 1997, as part of her acclaimed album *Mi Corazon*, Jaci Velasquez’s "Fuego de Amor" stands as a beacon of spiritual solace and fervent devotion within the landscape of Christian music. This song isn't just a track; it's an intimate invitation to experience the profound, transformative presence of God, crafted with a lyrical depth that resonates deeply with anyone navigating the complexities of faith and life. Velasquez masterfully articulates a universal spiritual journey, from moments of stormy doubt to the quiet assurance of divine love, inviting us to explore the sacred ground found only in God’s embrace.
The song opens with an evocative image of "a place, a lighthouse of light, right in the sea of your immensity," painting a picture of God's boundless presence as a guiding light in a vast, sometimes overwhelming, world. This lighthouse isn't just a distant glimmer; it's a solid "land you can step on when there’s a tempest in the soul," offering unwavering stability when life’s storms rage. Much like Psalm 46:1 declares, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble," the song presents God as the ultimate anchor. This foundation is further fortified by "fire that razes all adversity," a powerful metaphor not for destruction, but for the purifying and protective power of God that consumes our fears and obstacles, aligning with Hebrews 12:29’s depiction of God as a “consuming fire,” yet here understood in its benevolent, safeguarding capacity.
The chorus then erupts with a cascade of God's attributes, describing Him as "light that illuminates all darkness," a direct echo of John 8:12 where Jesus proclaims, "I am the light of the world." He is also portrayed as "wind that tears apart anxiety," hinting at the comforting, liberating presence of the Holy Spirit, much like the wind described in John 3:8, which brings new life and freedom. The imagery extends to "wings that carry you to fly," beautifully illustrating God's protective shelter and His ability to elevate us above our circumstances, a sentiment found in Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." Ultimately, He is the "divine light, guide for your walk," reinforcing Proverbs 3:5-6 to "trust in the Lord with all your heart... and he will make your paths straight."
At the core of the song lies the "fire of love that I want to ignite." This isn't merely a request for God’s love, but an active yearning to fully embrace and reciprocate it, to allow His radiant presence to burn away all loneliness. The lyrics, "with your radiance, loneliness left," speak to the profound peace and companionship found in God, who promises never to leave or forsake us, as in Joshua 1:9. The profound longing within the human heart is then voiced through a humble plea: "Don't let my peace die, listen to the silence of this heart that seeks the flame of that love." This poignant request reflects a deep desire to maintain the divine peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace Jesus spoke of in John 14:27, and a quiet, persistent seeking after God’s loving presence, aligning with Matthew 6:33 to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness."
The song culminates with an earnest invitation: "There is a place in you to live, yeah, open now the doors of your heart." This powerful call-to-action reminds us of Revelation 3:20, where Christ stands at the door and knocks, waiting for us to open our hearts and invite Him in. "Fuego de Amor" ultimately serves as a tender yet powerful reminder that God offers a steadfast refuge, an illuminating presence, and a transformative love capable of dispelling darkness, calming anxiety, and guiding every step of our journey. It’s a compelling worship anthem that encourages every believer to deepen their connection with the divine, igniting the "fire of love" within their own souls and experiencing the richness of God’s abiding presence.
