His Fire On My Side

Verse 1

I came through the valley with dust on my feet

Carried the weight but You’ve been carrying me the way, this whole time

Every night I thought I’d fall

But You were standing strong

I heard the whisper of fear in the dark

Tried to steal the song from my heart

But You said, “Daughter, lift your eyes”

The war was already Mine

—

Pre-Chorus

Ohhh I was never alone

Even when I felt unknown

Heaven had a battle cry

And it was over my life

—

Chorus (big, rhythmic, chantable)

Fire on my side

I don’t run, I rise

Lion of Judah walking with me

I don’t fight alone

Hands lifted high

Tears in my eyes

I belong to the Most High King

And the victory’s already won

—

Post-Chorus (layered chant)

Eh-eh-eh

You go before me

Eh-eh-eh

You stand behind

Eh-eh-eh

Surrounded, covered

By holy fire

—

Verse 2

Every lie tried to mark my name

But Your love washed off the shame

What the enemy meant for harm

You turned into a song

You taught my hands how to open in grace

Not with striving but face to face

I don’t have to prove my worth

I’m the daughter of the King

—

Pre-Chorus 2

Ohhh now my heart beats strong

I’ve been carried all along

The cross already sealed my fate

There’s no more fear in this place

—

Chorus (bigger, add harmonies)

Fire on my side

I don’t run, I rise

The Son of Heaven, God of all, fighting by my side

I don’t fight alone

Hands lifted high

Love in my eyes

I belong to the Perfect Father

And the battle’s already won

—

Bridge (devotional shift – softer, then build)

Jesus, my devotion

Jesus, my delight

Not just in the battle

But in the quiet night

You’re not only my Defender

You’re the One my heart adores

I don’t just want the victory

I want You, Lord

(Repeat, build drums slowly under)

With holy fire in our eyes

—

Final Chorus (tender mix)

Fire on my side

But love in my chest

I’m not just a warrior

I’m a child at rest

Jesus, steady

Faithful and true

I don’t just fight for You

I fight from You
