You Are The Fire
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the blazing passion in my eyes
You are the aching shut up in my bones
You are the longing that won't let me go
Let it burn, let it burn now
Oh from the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You're all consuming, You can't be contained
Never relenting, changing everything
You are the love that overwhelms my heart
You are the fire lighting up the dark
Let it burn, let it burn now
Oh from the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire
Let it burn, let it burn now
Oh from the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
Let it burn, let it burn now
Oh from the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire
You are the fire
The lyrics of Michael W. Smith's song "You Are The Fire" exude a stirring and emphatic expression of one's religious passion and devotion. The song portrays God as the consuming fire that fills the heart of the singer, an idea taken from the book of Hebrews, which describes God as a consuming fire. The lyrics present the concept of surrendering oneself to God, allowing His flame to consume everything within from the inside out, and subsequently allowing His love to shine through.
The chorus encourages the listener to allow God's fire to "burn" and "rage" from the inside out. Moreover, the bridge emphasises the idea that the fire of God burning within us should be so bright that it is felt, seen, and illuminates everything around us. The song seems to suggest that through both personal connection and burning passion for God, one can make a broader impact in the world.
In summary, the lyrics of "You Are The Fire" call to mind the power and intensity of religious devotion and express the idea that the fire of God burning within us can be a potent tool for change and growth.

First time I hear MWS was when he did "Friends" with Amy Grant at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in 1983 or 1984. I love his worship style of music - brings a person to the throne of the Living and True God - King Jesus! Bless you Michael and your ministries.
