KEEP ME BURNING

INTRO

CHOIR:
Keep me burning
Keep me burning
Holy Ghost fire
Keep me burning

SUNG INTRO:

Cover me with Jesus blood
Fill me with Your holy flame
Let my life become an altar
Let my worship bless Your name

VERSE 1

Make me like Obed-Edom with the ark in the house
Blessing overflowing till the whole land found out
Not a weekend flame
Not a borrowed shout
I want presence in the rooms where my fears came out

Make me like David when the trumpets sound
No pride in the palace when Your glory comes down
Let me dance till the chains fall off the ground
Let the fire in my bones make the grave hear sound

Make me like Israel round Jericho walls
Marching by faith when the stronghold calls
Seven days walking while the promise looks tall
Then a shout hits Heaven and the bricks all fall

Make me like seraphim before Your throne
Covered in fire but never alone
Holy holy holy in the lightning zone
Let my mouth burn clean till my heart is Yours

SUNG HOOK

Keep me burning
Holy Ghost fire
Keep me singing
Lift me higher

Keep me burning
Through the night
Covered by the blood of Jesus
Filled with resurrection life

CHOIR RESPONSE

Burn in me
Holy fire

Burn in me
Pure desire

Blood of Jesus
Cover me

Holy Spirit
Set me free

RAP VERSE 2

I do not want cold religion in my chest
I want living praise that will never rest
Oil in the lamp like the virgins waiting
Trim my heart while the world keeps fading

Keep me ready
Keep me steady
Keep me burning when the night gets heavy
Keep me worshipping through the war drum
Keep me praising till Your Kingdom come

Through sickness
Through sorrow
Through pressure
Through pain

Through catacombs under the civilized name

Through headlines
Through deadlines
Through funerals
Through fear

Let the Holy Ghost fire make the dry bones hear

Ezekiel valley with the bones spread wide
Breath of God moving through the death outside
Zoe life in the marrow and the spine
Lord resurrect what the grave called mine

SUNG PRE-HOOK

I want oil in my lamp
I want fire in my soul
I want praise on my lips
Till the final trumpet blows

CHOIR BRIDGE

Holy holy holy
Fire never ending

Holy holy holy
Worship never ending

Holy holy holy
New song always rising

Holy holy holy
Jesus always shining

RAP VERSE 3

Consume everything till only Christ remains
Burn up the shame
Burn up the chains
Burn up the idols that whispered my name
Burn up the fear that was feeding my brain

Blood and fire
Word and Spirit
Open Heaven
Let me hear it

Blood of Jesus over my doorway
Blood of Jesus over my mind
Blood of Jesus over my worship
Blood of Jesus over my time

Let the flame go all the way to Omega
Alpha beginning, Christ my Saviour
Not to the watchers who fell from station
But sons and daughters in new creation

Romans said creation groans in labour
Waiting for the children revealed by the Saviour
Lord make me one who desires Your glory
Not stolen knowledge, but Your holy story

Make me a son
Make me a daughter
Born of the Spirit
Washed by the water

Not chasing the throne that demons imagined
But worshipping Christ with holy passion

SUNG HOOK

Keep me burning
Holy Ghost fire
Keep me singing
Lift me higher

Keep me burning
Through the night
Covered by the blood of Jesus
Filled with resurrection life

CHOIR RESPONSE 2

New song rising
New song rising

Fire still burning
Fire still burning

Jesus is worthy
Jesus is worthy

Forever and ever
Forever and ever

RAP VERSE 4

Let me praise when the armies gather
Let me praise when the doctors chatter
Let me praise when the bones feel scattered
Let me praise because the tomb was shattered

Let me praise when the screens grow loud
Let me praise in the lonely crowd
Let me praise under storm-black clouds
Let me praise till the King comes down

If David danced
Then teach my feet

If Jericho fell
Then shake my street

If seraphim burn
Then light my breath

If Jesus rose
Then conquer death

No tired worship
No empty flame
No borrowed oil
No hollow name

Give me worship with Heaven inside it
Holy Ghost fire and the blood applied it

CHOIR BRIDGE 2

Fire on the altar
Blood on the door

Praise in the valley
Life evermore

Oil in the vessel
Song in the night

Sons and daughters
Burning with light

FINAL HOOK

Keep me burning
Holy Ghost fire
Keep me singing
Lift me higher

Keep me burning
Till I see
Jesus Christ the Omega
Reigning eternally

Keep me burning
Through the fight
Covered by the blood of Jesus
Filled with zoe life

OUTRO

CHOIR:
Holy Ghost fire

Jesus Messiah
Keep me singing

Alpha Omega
Keep me burning
