Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone
Your Presence Lord

To be overcome by Your Presence Lord
Your Presence Lord

Let us experience the glory of Your goodness

I stand to praise You
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is so weak
Chorus
(men) (women)
So light the fire Light the fire
in my soul in my weary soul
Fan the flame Fan the flame
Make me whole Make my spirit whole Lord You know Lord You know
where I’ve been where I’ve been
So light the fire
in my heart again
Verse 2
I feel Your arms around me
As the power of Your healing begins
Your Spirit moves through me
Like a mighty rushing wind
(Chorus)
