On Fire
Faith Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's an ember
deep with in me
but it's only
a little flame
but my faith keeps
and it won't be long till
it starts a blaze
Set my faith on fire
That's my one desire.
Make my life a pure and holy place
So the world can see
there's a fire in me
Burning by the power
Jesus's name
Start a blaze and set my faith,
faith on fire
If you take one candle, and light another
And then that other does the same
for u
so the world can see there's a fire in me
burning by the power of Jesus' name
Start a blaze and set my faith, faith on fire
We've got a message we must share it with the world
Igniting every man and woman, boy and girl
Set my faith on fire That's my one desire.
Make my life a pure and holy place so the world can see there's a fire in me burning by the power of Jesus' name
Start a blaze and set my faith, faith on fire

Just walking down memory lane here. I was 11 maybe when I went to this Pathfinder meet. I had no idea there was other Adventists in the world. It was one of the most amazing things to ever happen in my life. I loved the play they put on, and I loved seeing 'Little Toot' every night. I was so sad when it was time to leave. 25 now, where life has taken me, I've lost touch with most of the kids I met there. And even with the church I grew up in. My faith in God and the desire to help people drove me to my career choice. This song hits hard. I love it. I've see so much wrong in the world. And this helps me remember, there is amazing people, doing amazing things, and God is always there to help. I'm ranting, but thank you so much for posting this video.

Just so, I am always walking down the memory lane for this perfect song. My two children (in 6th grade)were there at The 2007 Pathfinder Camporee, Stuart Point@Sydney, Australia. They brought gifts and this CD sung by these God's beautiful family back home. Still downloading and watching always from Papua New Guinea, Madang Province. God bless all😇💫💛🧡💗❤️🙏🇵🇬

It’s been almost 20 years since I went to FOF camporee. It was a blessing to be there. My wife and kids and I now sing this song. Btw, where was the video recorded? I love the background.
