Burning Ember

Judge for yourself how great is the one
 Who lives in God – whose God is love
 Like an iron when left in embers bright
 Everything if fire – everything is light
 Oh Love, how beautiful You are
 Oh flame of joy within my heart
 Burning ember
 I remember Love's first light in me
 I was cold then
 Like a stone when I saw Your flickering
 Oh what beauty as You drew near me
 I could scarcely speak
 Somehow I knew
 I would be new in your glowing
 Judge for yourself if a fire isn't safe
 When cities fall before her face
 Yet a flower can endure the course of a storm
 When bowing to the tempest's rage
 Oh Love, more fierce than all the rest
 Oh raging joy within my breast
 Burning ember
 I remember Love's first light in me
 I was cold then
 Like a stone when I saw Your flickering
 Burn forever
 Let me never curse the pain You bring
 Somehow I know
 I will be whole in Your burning
 Oh Love, more lovely than the rest
 Oh flame of joy within my breast
 Burning ember
 Shine forever in the darkest tomb
 Warmth of heaven
 Hidden secret in a mother's womb
 Flame of beauty
 Blazing through me so that all might see
 Somehow we know
 We'll all be whole in Your burning
 In Your burning
 In Your burning
