Mack Brock - Fresh Wind Fresh Fire Lyrics
Lyrics
I am a vessel, You are the power
I am a candle, You are the flame
And when You need me, everything changes
Spirit fall on me again
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You
You are my light, and my salvation
You are the one that's made me new
And as the deer, thirsts for the water
So my soul longs after You
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You
Lord, pour out Your presence, the power of heaven
I'll stand in Your blessing
Oh, how I need You
Over and over, I am surrender
Do what You want to
Oh, how I need You
Pour out Your presence, the power of heaven
I'll stand in Your blessing
Oh, how I need You
Over and over, I am surrender
Do what You want to
Oh, how I need You
Oh, how I need You
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You
Fresh wind, fresh fire
My one desire
To lift You higher, higher
Oh, how I need You

Meaning & Inspiration
Mack Brock’s "Fresh Wind Fresh Fire," a stirring anthem from his 2018 album *Greater Things*, released on September 14th, emerges as a profound invocation for spiritual revival and an intimate encounter with the divine. The song delves into the human heart’s innate yearning for God’s active presence, articulating a timeless prayer for renewed anointing and empowered living. At its core, the message is one of absolute dependence and eager surrender, positioning the believer as an open vessel ready to receive and be transformed by the Holy Spirit.
The initial verses paint a vivid picture of human vulnerability and divine potency. The imagery of being "a vessel" and God as "the power," or "a candle" awaiting God as "the flame," immediately establishes a profound distinction. This resonates deeply with Scripture, particularly 2 Corinthians 4:7, which reminds us that "we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." It’s a humble acknowledgment that any spiritual efficacy or light comes not from our own strength, but solely from God's Spirit dwelling within us. The declaration that "when You need me, everything changes" speaks to the transformative power of divine intervention, culminating in the earnest plea, "Spirit fall on me again," a longing for fresh impartation and anointing, echoing the experience of Pentecost as described in Acts 2.
The resounding chorus, "Fresh wind, fresh fire, my one desire, to lift You higher," encapsulates the song's central petition and purpose. The "fresh wind" directly references the Holy Spirit, often symbolized by wind (John 3:8), representing His invisible yet mighty movement, breath, and life-giving force. Similarly, "fresh fire" points to the Holy Spirit’s purifying, empowering, and illuminating presence, reminiscent of the tongues of fire at Pentecost (Acts 2:3-4) and the consuming fire of God's holiness (Hebrews 12:29). This isn't merely a request for a fleeting spiritual sensation, but a deep, ongoing hunger for a renewed, vibrant encounter with God's Spirit. Crucially, the ultimate aim of this spiritual infilling is not personal gain, but the singular desire "to lift You higher," reflecting the biblical call to worship and exalt God above all else (Psalm 34:3). The repeated phrase "Oh, how I need You" underscores an essential truth of the Christian walk: our utter and constant reliance on God’s grace and presence.
Building upon this foundation, the subsequent verse reinforces God's identity as the source of salvation and renewal. "You are my light, and my salvation" directly mirrors Psalm 27:1, a declaration of trust and security in God’s protective power. The affirmation "You are the one that's made me new" points to the transformative work of Christ, creating a new identity and purpose in believers (2 Corinthians 5:17). The powerful and evocative line, "And as the deer, thirsts for the water, so my soul longs after You," is a direct echo of Psalm 42:1. This ancient metaphor beautifully conveys the deep, instinctual, and desperate longing of the human soul for God, a spiritual thirst that only His living presence can quench. It speaks to a fundamental human need that transcends time and culture.
The bridge takes the message to an even deeper level of surrender and active participation: "Lord, pour out Your presence, the power of heaven, I'll stand in Your blessing." This isn’t a passive request; it's an invitation for God to move sovereignly, coupled with a commitment to embrace the resulting divine favor. It aligns with prophetic promises like Joel 2:28, where God declares, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people." The repeated commitment, "Over and over, I am surrender, do what You want to," articulates a complete yielding to God's will, a profound act of worship described in Romans 12:1-2, urging believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices. This is a prayer not just for an experience, but for God to actively shape and direct one's life according to His perfect plan.
"Fresh Wind Fresh Fire" ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing need for spiritual replenishment in every believer’s journey. It’s an honest, unvarnished prayer for God’s active Spirit to fill, empower, and direct, ensuring that our lives are lived not in our own strength, but in His all-surpassing power. Through its simple yet profound lyrics, Mack Brock's song encourages a posture of humility, active dependence, and unwavering devotion, stirring within us a fervent desire for God's constant, transformative presence, ultimately aiming to glorify Him in all things. It’s a timeless call to return to the source of all life and power, seeking His face with earnest expectation, and an inspiring testament to the enduring human need for divine encounter.
