I’ve said it before and I know this won’t be the last time I say it, I am so thankful for songwriters who are able to use their ability to give us meaningful songs like “Fire Fall Down.”

We sang this song in worship yesterday and it doesn’t matter how many times I hear it or sing it, it’s just as touching for me as it was the first time I sang it. Why? Because of the message.

My life has been twisted and broken, but when I surrender to Jesus, He is able to take all the junk in my life and make my life into something beautiful.

My favorite line of the song is “show me Your glory.” I don’t know what stirred within Moses to ask God for this display in Exodus 33:18. God had assured Moses that His presence was with Moses and the children of Israel. But apparently that wasn’t enough. Moses wanted to see God’s glory for himself.

If you continue to read this passage, God “caused all his goodness to pass in front of Moses.” (Exodus 33:19) Are there times that all of God’s goodness passes in front of you and you miss it? I know there have been times when I have. I suspect Moses missed it at times as well. Maybe that’s why Moses asked specifically for God to show up in that moment.

I’ve used and heard this phrase a lot in the past few weeks. There have been some difficulties, some joys, some tears. But I believe God has shown me His goodness through each situation. I believe some might call this a Pollyanna attitude, but I am going to call it a God attitude.

Regardless of what I might do each day, when I begin the day with these words, “show me Your glory,” it will be an amazing day.

So yes, think of all the lyrics in this song. Acknowledge that Jesus sacrificed everything to save you. Praise Jesus for the brokenness He has fixed. Glorify the name of Jesus Christ. Surrender your life to Him. Rest assured in Jesus. Walk in victory.

But I would suggest you focus on the words “show me your glory.” You just might be amazed at how God shows up in your life today.

“Fire Fall Down”

Cause I know that you’re alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I’ll sing to glorify
Your Holy name, Jesus Christ

 
You bought my life with the blood
That you shed on the cross
When you died for the sins of men
And you let out a cry, crucified
Now alive in me

 
These hands are yours
Teach them to serve
As you please and I’ll reach out
Desperate to see all the greatness of God
May my soul rest assured in you

 
I’ll never be the same
No I’ll never be the same
Cause I know that you’re alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I’ll sing to glorify
Your Holy name, Jesus Christ

 
You’ve changed it all
You broke down the wall
When I spoke and confessed
In you I am blessed
Now I walk in the light
In victorious sight of you

 
Fire fall down
Fire fall down
On us we pray
As we seek
Fire fall down
Your fire fall down
On us we pray

 
Show me your heart
Show me your way
Show me your glory[i]
