“I’ve stood near fire that cracked the sky
But this don’t rage, it doesn’t ask why
It flickers slow like a breath held tight
It’s burning still, but not in spite”
“I’ve burned in guilt
I’ve burned in shame
But this flame here
Don’t say my name “
“It just waits
Like it knows
The weight I hold
The truth I chose “
“Take off your sandals
This ground is holy
I am the Lord
Not distant, holy “
“I am the God
Of fathers gone
Of Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob’s song “
“You want me to go back?
Back where I bled?
Where I broke the law
And buried the dead? “
“I don’t speak right
I don’t move fast
I lost that life
I burned that past “
“What if they ask me,
“Who’s this man?”
Who speaks with stutters
And no command? “
“I will be with you
I’ll teach your mouth
You’ll carry My fire
To bring them out “
“Say: I AM
Has sent you through
Not by strength
But by what’s true “
“I’m still burning
But now I know
That fire’s not just
To scare or show “
“It’s to light the path
That I couldn’t see
It’s to melt the chains
Still inside of me “
What if I fail?
What if I break?
“Set me on fire
I’ll carry the flame
Let my fear be the altar
Let my soul take the name “
“Burning in silence
Burning in doubt
Burning through weakness
I’m walking it out “
“Burning in calling
Burning in trust
Send me with nothing
But fire and dust “
“Send me now, though my knees still shake
Send me now, though the ground might quake
Send me slow, send me scared
Send me burning, unprepared “
“I’ll go if You stay
I’m burning Your way”
