I Want The Fire
Verse 1
I know my name is written in the Book of Life
I know I’m washed in the blood and I’ve won the fight
I ain't doubting my salvation, Lord, I know I’m saved
But there’s a silence in the room that I just can’t brave
I’m straining my ears in the dead of the night
Trying to tell my own thoughts from Your holy light
I don't want to guess if it’s You or just me
I need a voice I can hear, and a sign I can see.
Chorus
So break the glass ceiling, tear the roof off this place
I don’t want a container on my measure of grace!
I want the fire, not just the smoke
I want the power that Your promise spoke!
Confirm it in my spirit, let me feel the shake
Give me the real faith—the kind that don't break.
No more containers, Lord, shatter the jar
I want to know exactly who You are.
Verse 2
Now I read in the Word about the days of old
How You touched the mute and their story was told
You gave sight to the blind, You raised up the dead
You restored the hearing in the words that You said.
And You told us believers we’d do the same things
That we’d lay hands on the sick and the healing it brings
But I look at my hands, and I look at the pain
And I’m wondering why it don’t happen the same?
Is the power asleep? Is it something I lack?
I’m tired of holding this miracle back!
Chorus
So break the glass ceiling, tear the roof off this place
I don’t want a container on my measure of grace!
I want the fire, not just the smoke
I want the power that Your promise spoke!
Confirm it in my spirit, let me feel the shake
Give me the real faith—the kind that don't break.
No more containers, Lord, shatter the jar
I want to know exactly who You are!
Bridge
You said if I had faith the size of a seed
I could stare down a mountain and make it recede!
I don’t want religion, I don’t want a routine
I want the Holy Ghost power that’s barely been seen!
Fill me up 'til I overflow the cup
Help me pray the words that lift the broken up!
Outro
I want to lay hands and see the cancer leave.
I want to speak life and watch the lungs breathe.
Jesus, You did it. You said I could too.
I’m taking the lid off.
I’m waiting on You.
