Lyrics
Verse 1
Looking back at my camera roll
At a person I don’t recognize
Cause Jesus broke some barriers
And He went and He changed my life
Verse 3
I was staying up in the late of night
And wrestling with the voices in my head
Them demons tried to take my life
But they never had a chance in the end
Chorus
I said no, can’t have my soul
Sorry it’s not for sale
I’ve done it on my own, it only led to hell
I was chasing the wind, shivering in the cold
‘Til You lit a fire in my soul
Through hell or high waters you’ll never take
This fire in my soul
This fire in my soul
Verse 2
Looking back at old videos
At a person I don’t recognize
Some devils tried enticing me
To sign my name on that dotted line
But ### Chorus
I said no, can’t have my soul
Sorry it’s not for sale
I did it on my own and it only lead to hell
I was chasing the wind, shivering in the cold
‘Til You lit a fire in my soul
Through hell or high waters you’ll never take
This fire in my soul
This fire in my soul
Verse 3
I was staying up in the late of night
Wrestling the voices in my head
Them demons tried to take my life
But they never had a chance in the end
And ### Chorus
I said no, can’t have my soul
Sorry it’s not for sale
I’ve done it on my own, it only lead to hell
I was chasing the wind, shivering in the cold
‘Til You lit a fire in my soul
Through hell or high waters you’ll never take
This fire in my soul
Outro
If my life is an altar then burn it up with fire in my soul

Meaning & Inspiration
“fire in my soul” presents conversion as a decisive break with a former identity. Looking back at old photographs and videos, the narrator sees evidence of a life changed by Jesus. References to inner voices, spiritual opposition, and failed self-direction give the testimony a serious edge, while the repeated refusal to sell the soul makes allegiance to Christ the song’s central choice.
The image of chasing the wind recalls the biblical language of empty striving. In contrast, the fire lit within the soul suggests renewed devotion and a life no longer governed by temptation or despair. The closing altar image extends that confession into surrender: life itself is offered to God rather than held back for another master. The song does not claim that conflict has disappeared; “hell or high waters” anticipates continued pressure. Its confidence rests instead on transformation already attributed to Jesus and on a resolve that spiritual opposition cannot possess what now belongs to him.
