Let the Fire Fall on Me

A dear sister in Christ told me about this song this morning. I dug it up. I download the music sheet and the MP3.

This is also my first post using Blogger for Word. It works fine. But I cannot use Word as my Outlook editor. :(

1. Lord, I would be wholly Thine,
I would do Thy will divine,
From the world and sin and self I would be free;
On the altar now I lie,
And with all my heart I cry,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.

Refrain:
Let the fire fall on me,
Let the fire fall on me;
The fire of Pentecost,
Consuming sin and dross,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.

2. I would have sufficient grace
Every foe to bravely face,
And an overcomer evermore to be;
That I well may fill my place,
And that I may win the race,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.

3. Holy Spirit from above,
Fill my longing soul with love,
Till the Master’s image all in me may see;
Make me gentle, true, and kind,
Meek of heart, and humble mind,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.

4. In the kingdom I would stay,
There to labor night and day,
Any way and anywhere Thy will may be;
But that I may do my best,
And that others may be blest,
Let the holy fire from heaven fall on me.

A passionate song of confessions and dedications,also revealing the hungering to be filled!It would be great to include this into the Worship nos. of the church.

However,there is another 'fiery' and 'flaming' song of African accent 'Fire!Fire!Fire!' which goes this way,'Fire,fire,fire! Fire fall on me! Fire,fire,fire!Fire fall on me! As on the day of the Pentecost,fire fall on me! As on the day of the Pentecost,fire fall on me!'This song goes along with the African dance.

Hope to share this song in the near future.
