I Need to Get the Fire Back - Matt Redman

I’ve filled my time with preparations

Worn the cloak of endless serving

Though this is a part of loving

Something can grow cold

I’ve wandered through

This life’s distractions

Clouding out my soul’s attraction

When I take the time to listen

I can hear You call

I need to get the fire back

Lord like the first time

I need to get the fire back

You are my first love

The embers still remain

But Lord I miss the flame

I need to get the fire back

Looking now upon the reason

I am living I am breathing

Holy Father You are showing

All I need to know

I must take the time to listen

Not to know You from a distance

But to find in all Your nearness

You and You alone
