Lyrics
I'm letting out this fire tonight
That's burning in my spirit
I'm gonna dance with all my might
I don't care who sees it
I'm gonna let it wild
Be just like a child
And say, "I love You, Lord"
I might make a scene tonight
I might come unraveled
I gotta get undignified
Breaking off these shackles
I gotta let it wild
Be just like a child
And say, "I love You, Lord"
"I love You, Lord"
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't burn out
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't back down
Praises like a raging flood
Pouring from my spirit
The deep is calling out to deep
All my heart can feel it
I've gotta let it wild
Be just like a child
And say, "I love You, Lord"
I gotta say, "I love You, Lord"
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't burn out
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't back down
I put off all my heaviness and
I put on this garment of praise
You turned my mourning into dancing
And You turned my night into day
I put off all my heaviness and
I put on this garment of praise
You turned my mourning into dancing
And You turned my night into day
I put off all my heaviness and
I put on this garment of praise
'Cause You turned my mourning into dancing
And You turned my night into day
I put off all my heaviness and
I put on this garment of praise
'Cause You turned my mourning into dancing
And You turned my night into day
My night into day
My night into day
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't burn out
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't back down
I've got a love on fire
I've got a love on fire
The kind of love that won't back down
I'm not burning up
I'm not backing down
I'm not burning up
I'm not burning up
I'm not backing down
I'm not burning up

Meaning & Inspiration
“Love on Fire” portrays praise as an unrestrained response to love for God. Dancing, childlike freedom, and becoming undignified all describe worship that refuses to be governed by self-consciousness. The repeated image of fire conveys devotion that endures and does not retreat. Even when the song speaks of making a scene, its focus remains directed toward the simple confession, “I love You, Lord,” rather than toward the worshiper’s performance.\n\nSeveral lyric images closely echo biblical language. The deep calling to deep recalls Psalm 42:7, while the garment of praise comes from Isaiah 61:3. The movement from mourning to dancing reflects Psalm 30:11, where lament is replaced by joy. These connections give the song’s energetic celebration a scriptural vocabulary for spiritual renewal. Heaviness is exchanged for praise, night gives way to day, and mourning becomes movement. Through those contrasts, the song presents worship as a wholehearted declaration that divine love remains alive, steadfast, and worthy of visible joy.
