Keep The Flame Burning

(album: Surrender - 1983)

Lord, I find myself needing You
Like I never have before
In all of the darkness around me
Everyday my hunger's growing more

It's clear to me now, You are my only refuge
My port in the troubled seas
Help me to give my life completely to You
And make me only what You want me to be

Lord, just keep the flame burning in my heart
Light my way with the fire of Your spirit
Keep the flame burning in my heart
And let it spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in my heart

Children, He knows what you're going through
He suffered more than you'll ever know
Well, He's drawing us closer and closer to Him
He'll be back soon
You've got to get ready to go

Well, there's no time for complacency
There's no room for compromise
Just walk straight and strong
'Cause it won't belong
'Til we see Him split the eastern skies

Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts
Light our way with the fire of Your spirit
Keep the flame burning in our hearts
And let it spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts

Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts
Light our way with the fire of Your spirit
Keep the flame burning in our hearts
And let it spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts

Keep the flame burning
Light our way with the fire of Your spirit
Keep the flame burning in our hearts
And let it spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts
