about

This is my attempt to write a worship song for God. God peeps over the horizon in a few of my songs, but in this one he takes the centre of the stage. The problem with trying to write a song about God, of course, is that none of the words are big enough. Still, we can but try...

lyrics

Fire of Love
© 2006, 2011 Tim Chesterton

Deeper than the storms that shake us,
older than the ancient sands,
wider than the widest ocean,
holding life within your hands.

Wiser than our wisest sages.
Full of love beyond our scope,
patient through the years of longing,
holding fast to stubborn hope.

Brighter than the brightest morning,
yours the face I long to see.
Candle flame in deepest darkness,
fire of love so full and free.

Far beyond the farthest heaven
Old before the dawn of time
First and last and longest living
Brightest sun, in glory shine.

Brighter than the brightest morning,
yours the face I long to see.
Candle flame in deepest darkness,
fire of love so full and free.

Through the clouds of our confusion
Through the night time of our fears
Through the storms of war and anger
See the light of hope appears

Here among us as our neighbour,
speaking truth and living grace;
love, embracing friend and stranger,
came to us in time and space.

Brighter than the brightest morning,
yours the face I long to see.
Candle flame in deepest darkness,
fire of love so full and free.

Brighter than the brightest morning,
yours the face I long to see.
Candle flame in deepest darkness,
fire of love so full and free.
