Hillsong Young Free Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A spark in the night, a flame of hope
Spirit of God within my soul
Alive within my heart
The life in my bones

You're lifting my eyes towards You Lord
Teaching my heart to draw in close
To the all consuming God
Our great unending hope

As ember fans into flame
I'm revived within Your Name
Your Spirit lives within me
Your Spirit lives within me

This fire burns in my soul
Let the light of Heaven glow
For all the earth to see You
All the earth to see You

Spirit leading me each day
Casting a light to lead the way
My God stay the path
You call me onwards

Here in all holiness on earth
Blazing forever glorious
You're the all consuming God
Our great unending hope

As ember fans into flame
I'm revived within Your Name
Your Spirit lives within me
Your Spirit lives within me

This fire burns in my soul
Let the light of Heaven glow
For all the earth to see You
All the earth to see You

For all of this life
Your Spirit ignites
A heavenly fire
Untouched by the night
You opened our eyes
Turned death into life
Revealing all truth
There's no one like You

For all of this life
Your Spirit ignites
A heavenly fire
Untouched by the night
You opened our eyes
Turned death into life
Revealing all truth
There's no one like You

As ember fans into flame
I'm revived within Your Name
Your Spirit lives within me
Your Spirit lives within me

This fire burns in my soul
Let the light of Heaven glow
For all the earth to see You
All the earth to see You

For all of this life
Your Spirit ignites
A heavenly fire
Untouched by the night
You opened our eyes
Turned death into life




Revealing all truth
There's no one like You
