Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away Making signals with sticks And odd ends and bits, But still there's no sign of a flame Imposters have been passing, Offering good-feeling glow But I'm holding out For what You are about – An inferno that burns to the bone
Some urge me to be temperate, Lukewarm will never do
'Cos I, I wanna blaze with You So i'm holding my heart out to You Holding my heart out
So I stand, handing out torches Speaking words that are lamps to their feet Till the tine when You come And I'm whole and we are one And the fire in me is complete
Some tell me to be moderate But lukewarm will never do
'Cos I, I know I'll blaze with You So i'm holding my heart out to You Holding my heart out
Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind That I'll offer You me and You'd politely decline So i hasten to mute it, I'll shout and rebuke it - "away!"
