Originally this song was in Maltese, the title track of one of my albums. I had a talk to give in one of the spirit seminars which they called "Aquire the Fire" and the leader spoke about this fire that will purify us. That is where the idea came and I wrote the song. Psalm 139 helped in the idea as well. Pierre Bonnici then helped me in the translation of the song and here it is.
There are times I try to flee, to hide from your love;
Down the years and down the ages far from your eyes.
But your gaze reaches to my deepest essence.
Where can I run, can I escape your presence?
Your ways, my God, your paths enthrall me.
Your wisdom and your words, Lord, console me.
Lord, you search me; Lord, you show me
All the dying dreams within me.
Let your Spirit blow upon me
With your fire my heart inflame.
Lord, you guide me; Lord, you know me
See your Word glows deep inside me;
Flaming tongues shine all around me –
Burn away all sin and shame.
You have knit me in my mother’s womb you formed me
Even then you knew me to yourself you called me
All my deeds and all my days spread out before you –
Let my life, let my love be poured out for you.
Here I stand
(Always) In your hands
I rest in your embrace
