Stir Up A Fire

Stir Up A Fire

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

almost a song

"

 

Stir up the Spirit in me

Let a path be set by my light,

Giving warmth, to the coldest night

Let the lost, be drawn like a moth

To the foot, of our Savior’s cross.

Let the Spirit move free-ly

    -change me complete-ly

Stir up a fire in me.

 

Stir up a fire in me

One for the wor-ld to see

Let it ever, grow higher

          -ever grow brighter.

Stir up a fire in me.

 

Give me a heart for the lost

Give me strength, to stay on my knees

strength, to speak just your word

And a love for those in need.

Make me, your solider, Make me bolder

Strip up a fire in me.

 

Stir up a fire in me

One for the wor-ld to see

Let it ever, grow higher

          -ever grow brighter.

Lord, stir up a fire in me.
