Salt and Fire

Verse 1

Born into dust, boots on the ground

Hands get dirty where truth is found

World keeps rotting, losing its taste

Everybody hiding, everybody plays it safe

I’ve seen the quiet, I’ve seen the fear

Men with a voice but they won’t make it clear

But You said stand, don’t fade away

This ain’t a faith you bury in the shade

Pre-Chorus

If the salt goes weak

What’s left to save?

If the fire goes out

Who lights the way?

Chorus

We are the salt in the wound of decay

We are the fire cutting through the gray

Don’t hide the light, don’t dim the flame

Let it burn so the world sees Your name

Lift it high, let heaven ignite

We were made to shine in the night

Verse 2

City on a hill, can’t hide the truth

Even when the cost feels too steep to choose

They want it quiet, soft, and small

But You didn’t call us just to blend with the wall

This light wasn’t given to stay contained

It was forged in love, refined in pain

Every scar tells who we serve

Every stand proves what we’ve learned

Pre-Chorus 2

You don’t light a flame

To lock it away

You don’t give us truth

Just to watch us stay silent

Chorus

We are the salt in the wound of decay

We are the fire cutting through the gray

Don’t hide the light, don’t dim the flame

Let it burn so the world sees Your name

Lift it high, let heaven ignite

We were made to shine in the night

Bridge (Spoken / Sermon Moment)

This ain’t about being loud.

It’s about being faithful.

Salt stings because it preserves.

Fire hurts because it reveals.

So if it costs you comfort—

Good.

That’s what light does.

Breakdown (Heavy / Half-Time)

Let them see

Let them know

Every work points back to You alone

Final Chorus (Orchestral Lift)

We are the salt — still strong, still true

We are the fire — lit by You

No more hiding, no more shame

We lift our lives like open flames

Let the dark retreat in fear

When Your light through us appears

Outro

So let it burn

Let it blaze

All the glory

To Your name
