And combined with several profound experiences of God, he started to write songs and lead worship for the church. Always passionate about the presence of God, and songs that speak to the soul, he interned with Darren Clarke at the Burn Service in San Luis Obispo, California and on returning to the UK started to work under his father Chris Lane at the Vineyard Church in St.Albans. Samuel co-founded ‘the Burn Church’ and had his first worship song released on Vineyard Record’s ‘Holy’ album produced by Brenton Brown in 2002.

His songs (including ‘Beautiful’, ‘Adore Him’ and ‘Lord You’re near’) have been used worldwide and inspired songwriters and worshippers throughout the world. Sam currently works as Worship Pastor for the Vineyard Church in St. Albans. and continues writing songs for the church and pushing into the presence of God.

‘The Fire’

Recorded with Emmy Award winning producer Bobby Hartry (best known for his production work with Jeremy Riddle), along with some of the best musicians in LA (inc. Aaron Sterling, Jonathan Ahrens, Kristopher Pooley, and his brother in law and sister Darren and Jessie Clarke, writers of ‘I love Your presence’ and ‘Your love endures’). The Fire is a collection of songs that are full of passion, intimacy, hope and honesty… all found in the beautiful presence of God.

‘The Fire’ is the product of years of hard work from songwriter / worship leader Samuel Lane. Coming from years of experience in the Vineyard Church. His songs are full of passion, intimacy and honesty. The album communicates a real heartfelt journey of faith in the presence of God. And not only does it bring new songs to the church, but it calls out to the listener to engage with God; to ‘meet their maker’. There is nothing more amazing, more life changing than being drawn into the presence of God. ‘The Fire’ will do just this.

Samuel Lane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where You go I will follow
Where You lead I′ll be there by Your side
Take me with You

In my fear, I will trust You
In my doubt, I will look for You to guide
Take me with You

Your will be done
Your will be done, be done in my life

To live is Christ, to die is gain
To know the Father, to see His face
But I will follow, I will remain

There's strength in Jesus, there′s joy in faith
Joy in faith, joy in faith
