World On Fire Lyrics
(David Hodges)
Wait, waiting for a sign Crying to the sky For love to come around So hope won't let me down Shadows carry on The light is all but gone Your promise calls to me A love so rescuing
There is a hope beyond this night There is a Savior in the sky Giving His life to set this world on fire
Here, before the flames begin May passion burn within Our anthem as we wait For love to save the day
As our King, You will bring your truth To guide and keep us All of hell could not prevail against Your love
May Your light (waiting for a sign) Take my life (crying to the sky) Set my heart (for love to come around) On fire
World on fire
Song Description: "World On Fire" really changed the whole feel of our record. As soon as we heard it, we sensed the urgency and the passion in this song. We were going another direction with the title of our album, but as soon as this song fell in our laps, we knew this was God ordained. This world below heaven is faced with so much hopelessness and despair. This song is an anthem of the life that was given to us by Jesus, and the hope He provided us. The world we walk around in is not the end- but while we are here, he has given us the Holy Spirit, and the ammunition to set this world on fire for God. Until He returns, our commission is to touch lives and share of the hope of a world on fire for God.
