Fire of separation
Fire of sacrifice
Fire of purifying heat

Burned on rocky altars
Through the ancient nights
Now that fire's burning deep in me

My heart is the altar
I am the priest
My life's the only sacrifice

The sacred fire needs

Chorus:

Sacred fire
Burn Your mark on me
With Your flame brand the Name

For everyone to see
Sacred fire
Burn your mark on me

I am honored to be set apart
So burn your ownership into my heart


Fire of refining
Fire of discipline
Burn away all my impurities

Fire of consecration
Carefully define
The image of the Holy One in me

I know that I am privileged
To bear the sacred light
So I will lay down everything

To keep the flame alive

(Chorus)


Sacred fire
Burn Your mark on me

With Your flame brand the Name
For everyone to see
Sacred fire
