To lose that fire we once had known That burned within our souls We start to lose the joy And life becomes a bore We just live from day to day With no hope in the Lord We give up on the dreams We once had in our hearts We settle down to mere existence Alone within the dark Oh God our spirits yearn To know you so much more We don’t want to just exist But know you as before To feel your presence in our lives And a new song on our lips To walk in victory every day O Lord, we long for this Come, O God, and touch us Ignite us once again So we will burn with holy zeal More than we had back then Fill us with your spirit Lord And we shall be renewed So joy can be restored to us With brand-new hope in you © By M.S.Lowndes
