Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you feel a burning in your soul,
To preach the truth, to make it whole?
Do you hear the call, the zealous plea,
To proclaim the Gospel fearlessly?
[Chorus - Sung]
Lord, Your Word is fire, let it rise within me.
Make my heart steadfast, bold, and free.
Not for glory, not for earthly praise,
But for Christ alone - for all my days.
[Spoken Verse 2]
But what is this calling that you hear?
To preach what, to whom, and where?
Is it for financial gain and fame,
Or for the love of Christ and His name?
[Spoken Verse 3]
Martin Luther, he knew the call,
To preach the Gospel, to stand tall,
He cared not for riches or praise,
But only for the truth to blaze.
[Chorus – Sung]
Lord, Your Word is fire, let it rise within me.
Make my heart steadfast, bold, and free.
Not for glory, not for earthly praise,
But for Christ alone - for all my days.
[Spoken Verse 4]
If you’re truly called to preach,
It’s not for money, it’s not for reach,
It’s to proclaim the Gospel clear,
To those who’ll listen, to those near.
[Spoken Verse 5]
You don’t need eloquence or skill,
Just speak the truth, and do God’s will,
It’s not about becoming a pastor or priest,
But about the Gospel, the greatest feast.
[Bridge – Sung, Soft & Atmospheric]
Here I stand, Lord, heart undone,
Use my life for Your kingdom come.
Let Your truth be all I speak,
Make me bold, make me meek.
[Spoken Verse 6]
Don’t expect a salary or fame,
Don’t play the world’s money game,
But expect to be misunderstood,
And even hated, as Christ’s own blood.
[Spoken Verse 7]
For the message you bring is not of man,
But of the Sovereign, Almighty’s plan,
It’s a message of salvation true,
Of Christ’s work, not what we do.
[Spoken Verse 8]
So if you’re truly called to preach,
It’s not for gain or earthly reach,
It’s for the love of Christ and His Word,
To proclaim His truth, undeterred.
[Final Chorus – Sung, Bigger Build]
Lord, Your Word is fire, let it rise within me.
Make my heart steadfast, bold, and free.
Not for glory, not for earthly praise,
But for Christ alone - for all my days.
For Christ alone - for all my days.
