1 O Jesus Christ of burning, cleansing flame,
Your precious blood-bought gift today we claim,
Look down and see this waiting host,
send us the promised Holy Ghost,
Oh, how we long to see another Pentecost.
Chorus:
Send the fire, send the fire, O Lord.
Send the fire, send the fire, O Lord;
to magnify Your name, to never be the same,
we need Your Holy flame, send the fire!
2 God of Elijah, hear our Spirit's cry:
To make us fit for You, to live or die,
To burn up every trace of sin,
To bring the light and glory in,
Oh, let the glorious revolution now begin.
3 Lord, it's just You we want, just You we plead,
and by Your grace You meet our every need,
Strengthen our hearts to do what's right,
strengthen our faith to win the fight;
Lord, let Your power flow to walk the world in right.
4 Now make our fragile hearts strong and brave,
send us into a dying world to save;
see us upon Your altar lay
all of our lives this very day;
send down the fire to crown our off'ring now we pray.
