[Verse 1]
From the mud where the weeds grew thick
I learned how to pray with a bruised-up fist
Hands in the dirt, but I still said yes
Now I wear the ash like a wedding dress
Mama said, boy, keep your feet on truth
Even when the night tried to steal your youth
I was bent, not broken, still in the fight
Found a flame in the middle of the wire and spite
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear it rise, hear it rise
Old chains shaking off my life
I was low, but I’m coming up
With a heart like thunder and a cup full up
[Chorus]
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
I’m still standing, I’m still clean
(Still standing, still clean)
Light break through what’s mean
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
If you see me, you’ll know
I was made to glow
[Verse 2]
I got scars like signs on a roadside wall
Every one of them proof that I did not fall
They tried to bury my voice in dust
But the praise came up like a flood from trust
Now the room gets loud when I say that word
Like a door in the dark getting swung wide open
I was last in line, now I’m first in grace
With a river in my chest and a lifted face
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear it rise, hear it rise
Old chains shaking off my life
I was low, but I’m coming up
With a heart like thunder and a cup full up
[Chorus]
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
I’m still standing, I’m still clean
(Still standing, still clean)
Light break through what’s mean
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
If you see me, you’ll know
I was made to glow
[Bridge]
Let the whole floor shake
Let the old shame break
I was lost, now I’m found
Heaven hit the ground
[Final Chorus]
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
I’m still standing, I’m still clean
(Still standing, still clean)
Light break through what’s mean
Holy fire on my name
(Holy fire on my name)
From the dirt to the flame
(From the dirt to the flame)
If you see me, you’ll know
I was made to glow
