James, the Quiet Flame Lyrics

In the shadows I walked my path

A simple man with humble craft

But then He called and I drew near

To follow Him without a fear

James the son of Alphaeus known

Not in grandeur nor a throne

But in His eyes I found my worth

A quiet flame upon this earth

Oh Jesus changed my heart so deep

He woke my soul from silent sleep

In every step His love I found

With gentle grace He turned me 'round

Though I stood in humble place

He showed me truth He gave me grace

James the quiet yet so bold

My life was changed by His love untold

Though the world may not have seen

The power in His love so clean

He chose the meek to spread His light

In every heart through every night

With each day I grew in Him

Not by might but from within

Through every trial joy and pain

His love was stronger than the rain

Oh Jesus changed my heart so deep

He woke my soul from silent sleep

In every step His love I found

With gentle grace He turned me 'round

Though I stood in humble place

He showed me truth He gave me grace

James the quiet yet so bold

My life was changed by His love untold

Not with fame or loud acclaim

I served in love not seeking fame

In Jesus' name I found my call

To love and serve and give my all

Now I rest in Heaven's glow

Where seeds of faith forever grow

James the lesser but in His eyes

A faithful servant never dies

For in His love I found my role

A quiet flame a steady soul

He lifted me to heights unseen

In Jesus' heart I found my dream

Oh Jesus changed my heart so deep

He woke my soul from silent sleep

In every step His love I found

With gentle grace He turned me 'round

Though I stood in humble place

He showed me truth He gave me grace

James the quiet yet so bold

My life was changed by His love untold

Now I stand by Heaven's gate

A witness to His love so great

James the son of Alphaeus' line

Forever blessed by the divine
