started rubbing sticks together ~ thought a spark would take forever ~ never dreamt this fire would appear ~ when Moses saw the Bush in flames ~ and heard the branches speak his name ~ i wonder if he felt this kind of fear
cuz i'm burnin' ~ yeah, i'm burnin' ~ and i know i'm gonna blister in these flames ~ so i'll stay here ~ til this smoke clears ~ and i'll find You in the ashes that remain
used to be that i could say ~ my faith was one arm's length away ~ from any flame that ever felt too warm ~ asked for matches, but i recieved ~ a gallon full of gasoline ~ now my cozy campfire days are gone
cuz i'm burnin' ~ yeah, i'm burnin' ~ and i know i'm gonna blister in these flames ~ so i'll stay here ~ til this smoke clears ~ and i'll find You in the ashes that remain
"knock with caution at the door" ~ they said "beware of what you're praying for" ~ so i'll stand here with my whole desire ~ in the middle of this forest fire ~ til i've nothing left to show ~ and new life begins to grow...
cuz i'm burnin' ~ yeah, i'm burnin' ~ and i know i'm gonna blister in these flames ~ so i'll stay here ~ til this smoke clears ~ and i'll find You in the ashes that remain
