It starts as a whisper, turns to a roar,
The storm inside, can’t take it no more.
I see red when I should see grace,
Lord, help me calm this flame in my face.
I got angry with my spouse again,
Said some things I can’t defend.
My kid looked up with fear in her eyes,
And I broke inside when she started to cry.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna be that man again,
Lord, help me find the strength within.
[Chorus]
Help me control the fire inside,
Before it takes over my mind.
Teach me to speak with love, not pain,
To let go, and call Your name.
When I’m lost in the heat of the fight,
Be my calm, be my guiding light—
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose control tonight.
[Verse 2]
At work I snapped at a co-worker’s word,
Didn’t think before I let my anger burn.
Then some driver cut me off on the road,
And I felt that fury start to explode.
Every word cuts deeper than steel,
And I hate the way it makes me feel.
I pray they know my heart still cares,
Even when anger fills the air.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna be that man again,
Lord, help me find the strength within.
[Chorus]
Help me control the fire inside,
Before it takes over my mind.
Teach me to speak with love, not pain,
To let go, and call Your name.
When I’m lost in the heat of the fight,
Be my calm, be my guiding light—
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose control tonight.
[Bridge]
I surrender my rage, my pride, my scars,
Lord, I’m giving You my heart.
Let Your Spirit be my flame,
Burn away my guilt and shame.
[Final Chorus]
Help me control the fire inside,
Before it takes over my mind.
Teach me to fight with faith, not hate,
And walk with You through Heaven’s gates.
When I’m lost in the heat of the fight,
Be my calm, be my guiding light—
‘Cause I don’t wanna lose control tonight.
[Outro]
Control the fire…
Before it burns me alive.
Control the fire…
Lord, teach me to survive.
