I have often praised God for hymn and song writers through history who have given us the perfect message that is in our hearts. Sometimes what I feel in my heart can\u2019t be put to words on my own. But how blessed I am when I sing a song that tells God exactly what I\u2019m feeling in my heart!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"0005030206R-849x565\"<\/a>Whether it be sorrow, joy or praise, music has the ability to share what I feel. Perhaps that is why God gave us music. To express what is in our hearts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The song I share today is simple. The message offers praise to Jesus because of His willingness to \u201cfix\u201d my life. It offers the truth of the Gospel. It leads us to surrender. It\u2019s a message that speaks of how we can be changed with willing hearts. There is rest, blessings, light and victory in Jesus. And this little melody says it all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFire Fall Down\u201d has been around a while, but it\u2019s only recently hit my radar. I\u2019m thankful for our worship pastor who leads me to Jesus each week and who has the gift to bring the right message through the perfect song. This is just one of the little gems he has opened my heart to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In its simplicity, I find myself asking God to show me what He is able to do through me. \u201cShow me Your heart. Show me Your way. Show me Your glory.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pray that you\u2019ll be touched by this song and that you too will ask God to show Himself to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFire Fall Down\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cause I know that you’re alive
\nYou came to fix my broken life
\nAnd I’ll sing to glorify
\nYour Holy name, Jesus Christ<\/p>\n

You bought my life with the blood
\nThat you shed on the cross
\nWhen you died for the sins of men
\nAnd you let out a cry, crucified
\nNow alive in me<\/p>\n

These hands are yours
\nTeach them to serve
\nAs you please and I’ll reach out
\nDesperate to see all the greatness of God
\nMay my soul rest assured in you<\/p>\n

I’ll never be the same
\nNo I’ll never be the same
\nCause I know that you’re alive
\nYou came to fix my broken life
\nAnd I’ll sing to glorify
\nYour Holy name, Jesus Christ<\/p>\n

You’ve changed it all
\nYou broke down the wall
\nWhen I spoke and confessed
\nIn you I am blessed
\nNow I walk in the light
\nIn victorious sight of you<\/p>\n

Fire fall down
\nFire fall down
\nOn us we pray
\nAs we seek
\nFire fall down
\nYour fire fall down
\nOn us we pray<\/p>\n

Show me your heart
\nShow me your way
\nShow me your glory[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
