"The heart has its reasons, that reason knows not of."

FIRE

"God of Abraham, God of Isaac,
God of JacobísÝ line
not of philosophers and scholars.
You send your fire divine
Certitude and surety
Heartfelt joy, peace.
May this fireÝ you plant in me
Ever see increase.

Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy I have known
You are a blazing, burning fire in my bones
God of Jesus Christ.I worship you alone
God of Jesus Christ.I worship you alone

All The world forgotten,
Left without regard
I leave all things except my God;
This treasure I will guard
"O my righteous Father,
Ýthe world has not known you
but I have known You Father
Your fire I will pursue.

Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy I have known
You are a blazing, burning fire in my bones
God of Jesus Christ.I worship you alone
God of Jesus Christ.I worship you alone
