Burnin' - Nichole Nordeman

Started rubbing sticks together

Thought a spark would take forever

Ever dreamt this fire would appear

Moses saw the Bush in flames

And heard the branches speak his name

I wonder if he felt this kind of fear

'Cause I’m burnin', I’m burnin'

And I know I’m gonna blister in these flames

But I’ll stay here 'til this smoke clears

And I’ll find you in the ashes that remain

Used to be that I could say

My faith was one arm’s length away

From any flame that ever felt too warm

Asked for matches but I received

A gallon full of gasoline

Now my cozy campfire days are gone

And I’m burnin', I’m burnin'

And I know I’m gonna blister in these flames

But I’ll stay here 'til this smoke clears

And I’ll find you in the ashes that remain

Knock with caution at the door

They said, «Beware of what you’re praying for»

So I’ll stand with my whole desire

In the middle of this forest fire

'Till I’ve nothing left to show

And new life begins to grow

'Cause I’m burnin' and I’m burnin'

And I know I’m gonna blister in these flames

But I’ll stay here 'til this smoke clears

I’ll find you in the ashes that remain, remain
