O God of burning, cleansing flame,
Send the Fire
Your blood-bought gift today we claim,
Send the Fire Today!
God of Elijah, hear our cry,
Send the Fire
And make us fit to live or die,
Send the Fire Today!
To burn up every trace of sin,
To bring the light and glory in,
The revolution now begins,
Send the Fire Today!
It’s fire we want, for fire we plead,
Send the Fire!
The fire will meet our every need,
Send the Fire Today!
Give us strength to always do what’s right,
And grace to conquer in the fight,
For power to walk this world in white,
Send the Fire Today!
Look down and see this waiting host,
And send the promised Holy Ghost,
We need another Pentecost,
Send the Fire Today!
To make our weak hearts strong and brave,
Send the Fire
To live a dying world to save,
Send the Fire!
Lord, we’re here tonight and we’re on Your altar,
Send the Fire
We give our lives to You today,
Send the Fire Today!
-General William Booth, Founder of the Salvation Army
