Lyrics
There is no place I'd rather be
There is no place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
Than here in Your love
Here in Your love
There is no place I'd rather be
There is no place I'd rather be
No place I'd rather be
Than here in Your love
Here in Your love
Set a fire down in my soul
That I can't contain
That I can't control
I want more of You, God
I want more of You, God
Set a fire down in my soul
That I can't contain
That I can't control
I want more of You, God
I want more of You, God

Meaning & Inspiration
“Set a Fire” is a compact prayer for nearness to God and a desire that cannot be contained. The opening lines value remaining in divine love above every alternative, while the refrain asks for a spiritual hunger that exceeds personal control. Repetition gives the song the character of sustained worship: its few phrases return until longing itself becomes the central confession.
The image of wanting more of God closely matches the thirst language of Psalm 63:1, where the psalmist seeks God as earnestly as a dry land needs water. Psalm 42:1–2 offers a similar connection through its picture of a soul thirsting for the living God. The fire in the refrain functions as an image of inward devotion rather than a detailed doctrinal statement. Together, these themes make the song especially suited to prayerful worship focused on Gods presence, spiritual desire, and surrender to a love regarded as the best place to remain.
