Hidden Fire

Hidden fire shut up in my bones
intense of what I feel
about lifting the Lord on high
consumed with fervent zeal
____
to impart truth at every turn
no matter what may come
everything depends upon God
in reverence to His Son
____
as life is lived within my faith
there’s safety from above
encompassed with divine presence
the quickness of His love
____
is shed upon a longing soul
to carry me along
assurance of the task at hand
to know from right and wrong
____
as each step is ordered from God
I know what faith may bring
a sense of orderly fashion
in which the heart may sing
____
for favor rests upon my head
I’m blessed to serve through grace
that someone needs a touch from God
who’ll see Him face to face
____
and therein lies the work of man
promoting love each day
where hidden fire can be released
by walking in the Way
