Near to you is where I’m found
In the beauty of your sound
Oh come closer my friend
More of you and less of me

The words of your heart I must know
May my lips overflow
May my tongue sing always
More of you and less of me

Consume me, consume me
Fire, fire, fire, fire falling down on me

Rain sweet music down on me
Won’t you paint my melody
‘Cause I can’t compose myself
So I try to write this verse of longing
More of you and less of me

Real Jesus, come to me
Real Jesus, come to me
More of you and less of me

Near to you is where I’m found
In the beauty of your sound

Behind the Song:
'“Fire” is my first single. It talks about how important it is to burn for something, to first burn for the Lord and then for the things that you do on a daily basis. I like the Bob Dylan song “Gotta Serve Somebody.” Dylan says, “It may be the Lord or may be the Devil, but you’ve got to serve somebody!” I take this decision of service very seriously every day.' - Sarah Brendel
