Fly and Burn


Father, we reach out to touch your Light, for your Light never goes out. It ignites our embers and makes our spirits soar! We won’t be afraid to jump, to leave all behind to pursue your dream. Your dream is to break every chain that binds the hearts that long to beat with purpose, to make every child a burning flame in your Kingdom of Light. Burn down the walls that keep us from flying, the ceilings that keep us from touching you. Release those that you have called to inspire others. Call them from their corners and breathe new breath into their lungs so they come alive and burn. So they burn with a common goal to awaken truth and identity even when everyone around them settles for the soft breezes of amusement. But not for long, for the burning children are coming, throwing off restraints, advancing into radiance; and their fire is contagious!

Heart Fire


My heart cries for freedom

My spirit longs to soar

Your love to pour through my fingers

Your touch to ignite souls

You call me to be broken

Broken for the sons

For the daughters

To be made whole

Love only flows

Through the cracks

That break us open

And expose our pain

My heart cries for liberty

When I see

A brother or sister

And their destiny

Make me one with you

Make me free to express

The love you put inside

The fire in my chest

I don’t have much

But lack is my greatest gain

For when there’s less of me

More of you is free to be

I may not understand

Your heart’s cry

But I know the One who does

So take my hand, and we’ll fly!
