Larnelle Harris Album: Beyond All Limits Track: You Can't Put Out The Fire
You Can't Put Out The Fire Lyrics
Before it happened Men told of His birth And how His spirit would grow in the earth That from a manger A flame would spread to the soul
And men have tried to smother it out They've cursed it, despised it And still there's no doubt That it's alive and it's burning Out of control
Though Christ had to suffer To enter into His glory Don't be slow or foolish of heart God can finish what He starts
Chorus You can't put out the fire God started it long ago It's the only eternal flame And it burns to cleanse the soul You can't put out the fire Fanned into flames by His own hand Those who step in its path Are swept away For it wakes the heart To all that He desires It's burning and you can't put out the fire
The name of Jesus is mocked and profaned Instead of Him Men worship all He has made I give Him honor because He is Savior and Lord
Great men of faith give witness I need They live for and died For the God I believe Their hearts caught fire with a hope The world still ignores
Though Christ had to suffer To enter into His glory Don't be slow or foolish of heart God can finish what He starts
Repeat Chorus
The heart of God is burning For the souls of men And He'll keep yearning Until Christ returns again
