[Verse 1 -
A few years ago, at an old alter.
I knelt on my knees to pray.
It was there when I called on the Lord
He came into my heart to stay.
But things got rough, and I grew tough.
I told the devil, he is a liar.
I said The feeling that I feel
Way down in my soul,
It's a burning flame of fire.
Oh, the feeling that I feel
Way down in my soul, it's a burning flame of fire.
It changed my style, left me with a smile.
Without an earthly desire.
What I feel, I know is real.
Someday I'm going higher!
The feeling that I feel,
Way down in my soul, it's a burning flame of fire.
At Pentecost, in the upper room,
The saints, they began to pray.
It was then they called on the Lord.
He came in a heavenly way.
Like a mighty rushing wind.
That came. in the Spirit, they were going higher.
They said, "The feeling that we feel,
Way down in our soul, it's a burning flame of fire"
Oh, the feeling that I feel.
Way down in my soul, it's a burning flame of fire
It changed my style, left me with a smile.
Without an earthly desire.
What I feel, I know is real.
Someday I'm going higher.
The feeling that I feel,
Way down in my soul, it's a burning flame of fire
I walk this path, though unseen
With a quiet strength, deep and clean
Every step confirms the truth
A promise given in my youth
This sacred fire, it burns so bright
Guiding my way through the darkest night
It's more than hope, it's more than a dream
It's a living, flowing,
