[Intro]
(Sound of crackling fire & deep, ominous bass pulse)
(Adlib:) Eyepiercinglove.
(Adlib:) Yeah.
(Adlib:) Burn the impulse away.
[Verse 1 - Rhythmic Flow]
I’ve been sitting in the quiet, watching the wheat get sifted
Praying for a brother while the heavy clouds are lifted.
You admitted to the issues, the impulse in the soul
Acting on the first thought, losing all control.
But I’m standing in the gap, and the heat is getting higher
Turning every bad habit into fuel for the fire.
(Adlib:) Burn it up!
[Chorus - The Anthem]
My God is a Consuming Fire! (Burn out the gray!)
Establish my steps while I’m walking in the day.
Burn away the dross, leave a kingdom that remains
Breaking every habit and the weight of the chains.
In the center of the flame, I’m finding who I am
Safe inside the fire, held by the hand of the Lamb.
Consuming Fire!
[Verse 2 - Storytelling Flow]
I opened up the book of Job, seeking wisdom in the pain
Looking for the "intimate friendship" inside of the rain.
Keeping my tongue from evil, and my lips from a lie
While the "impulse Christian" watches the old self die.
I’m not rushing through the timing, I’m learning how to wait
Letting the Refiner decide my heart’s weight.
[Chorus - The Anthem]
My God is a Consuming Fire! (Burn out the gray!)
Establish my steps while I’m walking in the day.
Burn away the dross, leave a kingdom that remains
Breaking every habit and the weight of the chains.
In the center of the flame, I’m finding who I am
Safe inside the fire, held by the hand of the Lamb.
Consuming Fire!
[Verse 3 / Breakdown - The "Wait" Flow]
(Beat drops out to just a heartbeat kick drum)
They say wait on the Lord, renew your strength
But I’m running this race, yeah, I’m going the length.
When I am weak, that is when I am strong!
This is the refining work I needed all along.
No more rushing ahead, no more taking the lead
I’m planting my faith like a mustard seed.
(Beat drops back in HARD!)
WATCH ME RISE!
[Outro]
(Bass fades out, just the crackling fire sound remains)
Establish my steps, Lord.
Establish my heart.
No more impulse.
Just a brand new start.
(Adlib:) Intimate friendship.
(Fade out)
Eyepiercinglove
