Some fires burn so brightly But in a short time they grow so cold In the actions of a Christian Love shines pure as tested gold Fiction is fiction But a fact, baby, ain't no lie When you can look God in the face You can look your neighbor in the eye Father take me by degrees Take me any way you please I'm not my own Got eternity to love you In the light all around your throne Don't need no reputation Earthly glory'll leave you cold Live an' learn It's like kissin' through a windowpane Pretendin it's true love Live an' learn A love that lasts eternally That's what I want A slow burn
