(Verse 1)
Wired, awake, another restless dawn
Hear the Voice, the Spirit moves me on
Told I'm wise to see the Hand that guides
Even in the prayers I try to hide
You drive the words I didn't know to speak
Humbling the pride of what I sought to seek
A vacant trust, a hand I have to fold
To the ancient story that I've been told
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know how to pray
In this dark and dreadful world, I stray
The Holy Fire, let it light my way
Burn the assignments of yesterday
Oh, Father, Abba, rise up in me
Break the chain, set the righteous free
The strongtower's calling, I run from the gloom
Light the blue flame around this room!
(Verse 2)
The punishment was mine, the debt was due
But He wore the crown, the righteous few
Now the Spirit's on the inside, patient, slow
Tells me what to ask, what I don't know
They say I’m speaking in some broken tongue
But it’s the Spirit’s echo where the truth is flung
Admitted I'm a mess, a walking contradiction
But His mercy's my final conviction
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know how to pray
In this dark and dreadful world, I stray
The Holy Fire, let it light my way
Burn the assignments of yesterday
Oh, Father, Abba, rise up in me
Break the chain, set the righteous free
The strongtower's calling, I run from the gloom
Light the blue flame around this room!
(Bridge)
I want to see the evil doers pay
I want Your righteousness, starting today
Cancel the curse, rebuke the dark design
Remind the devil in Whose image I shine
Separate my blood, set them apart
A burning heart for the gospel's art
Light this family on fire, let the truth be heard
In the mighty Name, the final Word.
(Guitar Solo - Intense, distorted, and soaring)
(Chorus)
'Cause I don't know how to pray
In this dark and dreadful world, I stray
The Holy Fire, let it light my way
Burn the assignments of yesterday
Oh, Father, Abba, rise up in me
Break the chain, set the righteous free
The strongtower's calling, I run from the gloom
Light the blue flame around this room!
(Outro)
Pray like this.
Pray like this.
The breath of life...
Amen.
(Fade out with a final, ringing chord)
