My Tongue On Fire

He set my tongue on fire!
So I must not retire
But speak His word in season and out of season

He set my tongue on fire!
So I must always desire
The fullness of Him who dwelleth in bodily form

He set my tongue on fire!
So I must inspire
A crooked and perverse generation

He set my tongue on fire!
So I can be like a Holy Ghost Naked Wire
Unleashing from within me the power of God

He set my tongue on fire!
So I must speak the language of my messiah
For I speak not unto men but unto God

He set my tongue on fire!
So I can never expire
But speak with inspiration

He set my tongue on fire!
“As it is written He maketh Angels Spirit and His ministers flames of fire”
A secret that all Speakers of His word know

He set my tongue on fire!
So in His Word I will deeply inquire
For the words we speak are spirit and life
