I burn inside
I move too fast
I want the world
To feel the blast

I see the wrong
I feel the rage
I want You loud
I want the flame

I wanted fire from the sky
I wanted You to draw the line
I wanted justice here and now
I wanted power, not the how

I don’t wait well
I don’t bend slow
I call it faith
But it’s control

If they don’t listen
Let it fall
If they resist
Burn it all

I wanted fire from the sky
I wanted You on my side
I wanted thunder, clear and strong
I wanted right instead of wrong

Why does mercy feel like weakness
Why does silence stop my hands

You didn’t shout
You didn’t strike
You stood between
My fire and the night

I wanted fire from the sky
You taught me mercy
By Your life

Not every flame
Is Yours to send
Not every wrong
Is mine to end

I wanted fire from the sky
You taught me mercy
You stayed close
And let it die

The fire’s still here
But in my chest
Not in my hands
I finally rest
