Oh, holy fire of God, burn deep inside of me, Cleanse me, purge me, fill me, use me. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Consecrate my life on your altar this day. Make me a clean vessel, a clear channel, Fill me with your presence, Flow through me with your power.
Oh, holy flame of God, burn with intensity in me, Let the Christ of Calvary be clearly seen in me. Oh, great God, perform a sanctified work in me, Keep me a consecrated vessel for thee, Anoint me with thy spirit, flood me with thy presence, Clothe me with the mantle of heaven's authority, King of kings and Lord of hosts, I bow before thy holy throne, Make me a holy flame for thee, Let the world see Christ when it looks at me.
