Snatch me from the fire God Jesus Snatch me from the fire Lifting higher, Higher Threatening to drown My life I scream I cry Even I writhe Flames of Pain, chaos Broken world
Until One gentle touch One saving hand Upon my shoulder Falls Lightly my name I hear You call Drawing me away So, Within your arms May I stay Given strength Out of the fire to crawl No longer my frail self Dare they attempt to maul
Do not be afraid of those Flames of pain Follow Christ's gentle Touch Even though to endure Flames can be Extremely rough But You will be allowed With only one soft word One glance To enter the eternity The safety Of Christ's embrace And the joy of His Paradise's dance!
Some days I feel broken Then I remember Jesus our God Broke one small fish Of food It was only a Minute token Tearing it Into very, very Many pieces
His purpose? So that He could meet A greater need That He And the Father Together could feed Over five thousand In only one day
So if you Have to, Allow yourself To be broken Even if many things You stand to lose That by Christ Jesus You also may be used To feed, to save Hopefully, Multitudes of others!!
Hounds on the heels For days, years on end Isn’t that how it sometimes Most usually does it feel For all of us?
Oh! I cry Oh, my Warrior God! Alone and in the dark Now, incessantly Do I sob
Demons to the left, Evil’s pain to the right Of You nowhere in my vision Do I seem to catch sight All around only satan’s emissaries Alone, alone, always alone I cry Increasingly my very existence They overwhelmingly deride
Until I hear your trumpet I raise my head somewhat To Your loud commanding roar I can hear without a doubt And no longer can contain My own reverberating shout
As You command, aside evil Do you toss For of your beauty’s power Never will there be a loss The air around me you purify You clean Breathing better all at once Towards you do I try to lean
On this day, as I am allowed To gather and to see The unending sight of my Heaven’s King Upon His throne And Surrounded by your Almighty Power My soul in ecstasy has found its home!
At the hands Of the smithy Hammered Over and over Put back into The burning, Roaring flames Removed Only to be Hammered Again
God will do this To us You know Maybe Just to show How much He really loves you
Remember He chose you Not any other For this Particular fire Knowing you so well Only He could tell What you needed To make you rise up Be inspired On His shoulders Lifted higher And Put back together Newer, stronger, ready To follow His every step
Christ Coming Seated on a throne Crowned in glory Fresh from Another's new story With fire in His eyes So Holy Burning intensity In each glance Perhaps today Is your greatest Chance
Desiring, Burning the old To dissolve Turning to ash For you This is His resolve All must be Reborn Renewed
Until you step through Glorified Purified Only then can You be allowed To enter between Heaven's gates So today Do not hesitate Take the offered chance To receive the fiery dance Of the eternity living In His eyes!
