Fire in Me Lyrics

He had a bible in his hand vet cap on his head at the door of the Texaco

He was handing out flyers that said Jesus loves you and he died for your soul

I said hey young man how many of them do you think you've given away

He said son I stopped counting 60 years ago with a big smile on his face

He said I came to know the Lord when I was just a boy in the summer of 43

And I could feel every word that preacher was preaching at that old brush arbor meet

And I can still hear that choir singing Just as I Am

I was Saved that day and my life changed when I rose from that watery grave

Since that day I still believe and that same fire still burns in me

I've fought two wars and lived both times lost my friends and lost my wife but

I've lived enough to know I can guarantee yeah this fire will be burning long after you and me

And then one day Somebody complained that old man's gonna have to go

A few days later I came back by that old man was across the road

He had a Bullhorn screaming and a cross that stood leaning made of rotten old 4x4's

He was Preaching all about love and forgiveness and the coming of the Lord

And he cried children can't you see aw hear these words that I speak

Wake up don't be left behind Seek the Lord while you have time

But Remember this one thing before you leave yeah this fire will be burning long after You and me

Well that cross still stands but that sweet old man ain't around to preach no more

And when I go back there I can almost swear I can hear that old bullhorn

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son

And that same old fire that burned in that ol man just keeps burning on

And I sing children can't you see aw hear these words that I speak

Wake up Don't be left behind seek the lord while you have time

But remember this one thing before you leave yeah this fire will be burning long after You and me

Oh oh long after you and me yeah this fire will be burning long after you and me
