Recon - Light The Fire Lyrics
Lyrics
I'll tell you a story of dark and the light
The Devil wants to take your life
Don't follow Satan, you'll perish in the end
JESUS CHRIST is alive tonight!
Oh, can't you see His light, my friend?
Confess your sins, be born again.
Chorus
Light, Light the flame
Light the fire, He's the flame
Light, Light the flame
Light the fire, He's the flame of life
Walk in the light, turn from the dark
Only He can fill your heart
I hear the fools say that this is a lie
Receive JESUS before you die
Oh, can't you see His light, my friend?
Confess your sins, be born again
Chorus
Light, Light the flame
Light the fire, He's the flame
Light, Light the flame
Light the fire, He's the flame of love
(Repeat 1st Chorus twice)

Recon - Light the Fire
Meaning & Inspiration
Recon’s "Light The Fire," released on April 14, 2017, ignites a powerful spiritual message, serving as an urgent call to embrace faith and walk in divine truth. From its opening lines, the song thrusts listeners into a timeless cosmic battle between good and evil, vividly portraying the destructive path offered by darkness and the life-giving alternative found in Christ. The narrative unfolds as a direct confrontation with the enemy, reminding us, as 1 Peter 5:8 warns, that "your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Against this backdrop of spiritual peril, the song resoundingly declares, "JESUS CHRIST is alive tonight!" – a truth echoing Romans 6:9-10, where we learn that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again. This living reality of Jesus anchors the song’s profound invitation to introspection and transformation: "Confess your sins, be born again," directly aligning with John 3:3, where Jesus explains that unless one is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God, and 1 John 1:9, which assures us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.
The chorus, "Light, Light the flame, Light the fire, He's the flame of life," serves as the song's central, radiant metaphor. Here, Jesus is not merely a messenger but the very embodiment of the divine flame, the source of warmth, guidance, and eternal existence. This imagery powerfully connects to John 1:4, which states, "In him was life, and the life was the light of all mankind," establishing Jesus as the origin of all true life and illumination. The subsequent iteration, "He's the flame of love," further deepens this connection, drawing directly from 1 John 4:8, which profoundly declares that "God is love." The flame thus symbolizes both the vibrant essence of life itself and the unwavering, sacrificial love of God, inviting individuals to allow this divine fire to illuminate and purify their very core.
The subsequent verses reinforce the foundational call to spiritual alignment, urging us to "Walk in the light, turn from the dark." This resonates deeply with Ephesians 5:8, which instructs believers to "live as children of light." The song assures us that "Only He can fill your heart," pointing to the ultimate satisfaction found in Christ that worldly pursuits can never provide, much like the peace surpassing all understanding described in Philippians 4:7. Recon doesn't shy away from acknowledging spiritual resistance, stating, "I hear the fools say that this is a lie," a poignant echo of Psalm 14:1, where "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" This direct challenge underscores the song’s unwavering conviction and its call for listeners to make a decisive choice. The repeated plea, "Receive JESUS before you die," is a stark reminder of the finite nature of earthly life and the eternal consequences of our choices, reflecting the sober truth of Hebrews 9:27: "it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment." "Light The Fire" is not merely a song; it's a spiritual manifesto, an inspiring summons to embrace the transformative power of Jesus, the living flame of life and love, and to walk confidently in His illuminating truth.
