Hollyn's song is a worshipful reflection on the intimate presence of God, using imagery of fire, bread and wine, and a burning heart to describe a deep spiritual encounter. The lyrics express a longing to understand and remain in that closeness, acknowledging that God opened her eyes to see He is all she needs. The repeated refrain about hearts burning echoes the Emmaus road experience, where Jesus' presence ignites passion and recognition. The song balances awe with a desire for renewed connection, capturing both the joy of nearness and the ache of distance.

I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
My sensitivity
Is talking back to me
In the corners of my heart
Is it possible to part
With my experience of you
Give me clearance on the truth
I need it
I need it
To understand just where I am
Is understanding what I am
And I, I'm in love with you
To understand just where I am
Is understanding what I am
And I, I'm in love with you
Did not our hearts
Burn in our chest?
I've never known
A feeling like this
Oh, you've never been closer
But now that it's over
Did not our hearts burn?
Will not our hearts burn again?
I could not recognize
Til you opened up my eyes
Now I finally see that
You are all that I'm needing
In my experience of you
You show me that you're the truth
I'm needing
I'm needing
To understand just where I am
Is understanding what I am
And I, I'm in love with you
To understand just where I am
Is understanding what I am
And I, I'm in love with you
Did not our hearts
Burn in our chest?
I've never known
A feeling like this
Oh, you've never been closer
But now that it's over
Did not our hearts burn?
Will not our hearts burn again?
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I feel fire
I feel presence
Bread and wine
I'm in heaven
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
