On Fire

Have you ever had a song weigh heavily upon your heart? For the past couple of weeks this amazing song by Switchfoot has been on my heart, especially the theme of longing for something more. The Beautiful Letdown album is so powerful and the theme of purpose constantly weaves itself throughout the songs. The notion of belonging to something better than this world is so incredible and 'On Fire' captures that poignantly. What song captures your heart's longing?

On Fire

Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

Everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard
So much more than empty conversation filled with empty words

And you're on fire when He's near you
You're on fire when He speaks
You're on fire, burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be

Everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change, You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
These mysteries

I've been standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
And I've been standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge

And I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
