Title: On Fire lyrics
Artist: Switchfoot

They tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you’ll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you’ve heard
There's So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

Chorus:

And you’re on fire
When He’s near you
You’re on fire
When He speaks
You’re on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries

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

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

Chorus:
When I’m on fire
When You’re near me
I’m on fire
When You speak
And I’m on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries
These mysteries...
mysteries
mysteries

You're on fire
You're on fire
You're on fire

I’m standing on the edge of me (x3)
I’m standing on the edge
I’m standing on the of everything I've never been before
I’m standing on the edge
I’m standing on the edge

Chorus:

And I’m on fire
When You’re near me
I’m on fire
When You speak
(yeah) I’m on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries...

Song: That's Amore

(In Napoli where love is King)
(When boy meets girl)
(Here's what they say)

When the moon hits your eye
Like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's amore

Bells'll ring
Ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts'll play
Tippi-tippi-tay
Tippi-tippi-tay
Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool
Joost-a like pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet, you're in love
When you walk in a dream
But you know you're not dreamin', signore
'Scusami, but you see
Back in old Napoli, that's amore

(When the moon hits your eye)
(Like a big-a pizza pie, that's amore)

That's amore

(When the world seems to shine
(Like you've had too much wine, that's amore)

That's amore

(Bells will ring)
(Ting-a-ling-a-ling)
(ting-a-ling-a-ling)
(And you'll sing "Vita bella")
(Vita bell-vita bella)
(Hearts will play)
(Tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay)
(Like a gay tarantella)

Lucky fella

When the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool
That's amore (that's amore)
When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet, you're in love
When you walk in a dream
But you know you're not dreaming, signore
'Scusami, but you see
Back in old Napoli, that's amore

sticking to the "fiery" theme as of late:

the lyrics to BURNING CLEAN, by a personal fav. band, STAVESACRE


When this fleeting limelight fades
And we're alone again
What name will your heart speak?

What is true? What is real?
Not what you feel
What you know eternally

Ten years running blind and aimlessly
Warming by the fires of bridges burning
Ten thousand peering eyes that can only see
The show, the smile, the face i allow
How many more break beneath the surface?

Young and bold, but blind and led by blind
His person missed beyond His Name
Was this the hope when we began?
A tragic generation
Of faithless children and forgotten love?
I know I'd hoped for some other, higher purpose

What is true and what is real
Past what you might feel
What do you know eternally?

And when this fleeting limelight fades
And we're alone again
What name will your heart speak?

And if you see me on the way down
Would you smile and send me on my way?
And if you see me headed down
Is there something more
Between you and I?
Something higher?

I want to be real again
I want You, Father, be real in me

And if I see you on the way down
I'll lift your name up into His care
And if I see you headed down
I'll do what I can to lift you up again

Burn us clean, refine this world away
Make Yourself real in me
Make us to live as You would

Empty Me - Chris Sligh

Genre/Lang. : Christian

I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood.
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You.

I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You.

Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You, compared to You.
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to You. So, I surrender all!

Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be,
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with You.
Oh, filled with You.
filled with You.
Empty me.

Song: Red Letter Day

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
It's gonna be another red letter day

Every day before the rush gets started
I get down on my knees
And I pray, Lord, I need You here to guide me
Please speak to me
And something happens that I can't explain
His Word starts talking to me and
I'm out to face this world again

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
It's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day!!!

I had a friend call me up and tell me
How he struggles through each day
I told him that I didn't have all of the answers
This world's a crazy place
But I've learned to hide God's word in my heart
So I can have it with me when the pressures of the day start

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
It's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day!!!

I do believe

So many hidden treasures in God's Word for us to find
The mysteries and secrets that are there to bring us life

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
It's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day!!!

I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
to take His Word and walk by faith

The Music of the Heart
In every human heart there is always a special song.
A melody that touches the soul, a melody that can do no wrong.
Sometimes we hear a sad song when good friends part,
Or simply for a broken tired heart.
Sometimes we hear a happy song when a new baby is born.
Or simply it is just for a beautiful morn.
With any song there are many movements,
But that divine melody never ever relents.
One movement will be sad;
the next movement will make us feel glad.
Life is made up of many songs.
Each song is special. Each song belongs.
Each day is orchestrated to perfection by the divine.
But there will always be one song that is uniquely mine.
The music of the heart accompanies us throughout life.
In happiness and in strife.
But it will always be there to bring comfort and peace.
With this melody comes the greatest release.
Embrace that special song in your heart.
That divine melody and you will never ever part.
It will always be there when you need to hear it.
Be still, be at peace and listen to it.
Always give thanks for that special song from above.
Listen to the music of the heart and fill the world with love.

When I Linger in His Presence

Sometimes when shadows linger
And darkness veils the night
When pain obscures my vision
And things aren’t going right.

When the world around me crumbles
And a friend cannot be found
When tomorrow holds no promise
And life has got me down.

When I am at my lowest
And I can bear no more
I cry to Him in anguish
He greets me at the door.

He gently whispers to me
My soul has found release
My troubles start to perish
My worries seem to cease.

The hardships I have known
Seem to vanish with the wind
When I seek His loving Spirit
And I humbly let Him in.

All the turmoil that surrounds me
Seems to fade like shifting sand
When I linger in His presence
And He gently takes my hand.

I'm Not Alone

While crying out for guidance,
holding that the flesh is weak,
From within a gentle silence,
comes the answers that I seek.

When my days are at their darkest
and the nights produce no rest,
in His spirit there's a stillness,
where He summons up my best.

Since temptations are unyielding
in their attempts to gain control,
His grace provides the shielding,
that protects my mortal soul.

Knowing I can not defeat them;
yet, with Him I'm not alone,
as He goes out to greet them,
soon my troubles will be gone.

I am shielded by His blessing
with this armor that I wear
and safe from life's transgressions
by the powers found in prayer.

My cup is free from sorrow,
it's overflowing at the brim.
I can stand and face tomorrow,
having placed my faith in Him.

Written From The Heart

Poetry is a wonderful gift
When written from the heart;
It can bring a smile to a lonely face,
Or make you cry and tear you apart.

You are given a glimpse into someone's life
And with compassion you learn to feel,
The need to share with others,
Love and understanding, that is truly for real.

You don't ridicule others with the words you choose,
If you've never walked in their shoes;
You write with compassion and commitment,
When you care for others, you cannot lose!

The words that you write, may affect others' lives,
You must choose them wisely with care;
Write from the heart with love and compassion,
For this gift YHWH has given, for you to share.

I heard this at a friend's wedding, I heard it and I thought of them. And for another reason this time of year.

Bette Midler The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and You it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes a chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

I Believe

I believe in the sun
even when it isn't shining.
I believe in love
even when I am alone.
I believe in G-d
even when he is silent.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is-within us.
It is not in some of us, it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Just imagine if everybody understood that YOU and ALL you are is a gift to the world from YHWH.
And when you bring your presence to someone's home or bedside or church you are blessing them with your presence, which is your ministry.

Well, I have preached myself happy!!!!

Love YOU, my spectacular gift from YHWH.
Thank you for sharing your presence with me via email.
