The Holy Spirit is here and His power is real
Anything can happen and it probably will
Something very good something good is going on around here
There is a light that shines to make the dark disappear
A power at work but there's nothing to fear
Something very good something good is going on around here
This is a church on fire
This is the Holy Spirit flame
We have a burning desire
To lift up Jesus' name
Let the fire burn in every heart
To light the way, defeat the dark
Let the flame of love burn higher
This is a church
This is a church on fire
