215: SEND THE FIRE
| Book: | Hallelujah Choruses |
1.
O, Jesus Christ of burning, cleansing flame,
Your precious blood-bought gift today we claim,
Look down and see this waiting host
Send us the promised Holy Ghost,
Oh, how we long to see another Pentecost,
Chorus:
Send the fire, send the fire, O Lord.
Send the fire, send the fire, O Lord.
To magnify your name, to never be the same
We need your Holy flame; Send the fire.
2.
God of Elijah, hear our Spirit's cry
To make us fit for you to live or die
To burn up ev'ry trace of sin,
To bring the light and glory in.
Oh, let the glorious revolution now begin.
3.
Lord it's just you we want, just you we plead
And by your grace you meet our ev'ry need
Strengthen our hearts to do what's right
Strengthen our faith to win the fight;
Lord, let your power flow to walk the world in white.
4.
Now make our fragile hearts both strong and brave
Send us into a dying world to save
See us upon your altar lay
All of our lives this very day.
Send down the fire to crown our off'ring now we pray.
