fire of the newly alive

we are awakened

restored

and renewed

the bonds of desire have led me to you

the heat of the questions that linger and stir

is the fire that enfolds us

a place to be cured

salvation and rescue

and the one thing of which i am sure

your hand on my heart

and its beating in time

to the sound of your voice

and the look in your eyes

the moment you touch me

all down inside

is the fire of the newly alive

the passion of old is a children's quick game

now it's the sound of the thunder

and feel of the flames

you leave me a message so deep in my skin

where you stop is where i begin

you are the reason

the time and the face

i am dissolving in oceans of grace

i'd give up a lifetime to keep you from harm

be your salvation and rescue

and burn bridges to lie in your arms
