You are the flame that’s growing deep inside / 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 / FROM THE INSIDE OUT / LET IT RAGE, LET IT RAGE NOW / YOU ARE THE FIRE / 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 // Fan the flames ‘til
the whole world sees us burn / You are the fire

Behind the Song:
Dustin Smith is a worship leader in Kansas City and I heard “You Are the Fire” on his record. I fell in love with it so I started doing it on the “Around the World Tour.” In Norway, we were at this huge festival and there were 10,000 people singing it with me. At the end of the show, I said, “Goodnight” and got in the car and left. The guys came back to the hotel and showed me a video of the crowd still singing the song 10 minutes later. The band left the stage and they were still singing it. I thought that’s a pretty good sign. I love this song. It’s one of my prayers that God will fan the flame. I want to reflect who He is. - Michael W. Smith
