All Fired Up
Song Meaning
Petra cites its own biblical basis directly — "based on Psalm 104:4, Luke 3:6" — before building the song around fire as the image for spiritual renewal: "time to be rekindled by the everlasting Source, the all-consuming Fire." The reference points to Hebrews 1:7's quotation of Psalm 104, describing God's angels as "a flame of fire."
"Those who wait up on the Lord, find their strength has been restored" lifts Isaiah 40:31's promise almost directly, the same verse behind countless renewal songs on this backlog, applied here specifically to spiritual enthusiasm rather than only endurance. "I've been told not to let my feelings go... but I have this feeling burning deep within my heart" pushes back against restrained worship, naming excitement itself as a legitimate response rather than something to suppress.
[Based on Psalm 104:4, Luke 3:6]
When the weight of the world begins to show
When the flames of faith begin to die before I know
Time to be rekindled by the everlasting Source
The all Consuming Fire, illuminating Force
Like a blacksmith bellows aim
He fans the embers to a flame
I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up
There's a flame burning in my soul
And my heart is a burning coal
I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up
Those who wait up on the Lord
Find their strength has been restored
The flames of renewal burn within
I'm all charged up in my spirit again
I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up tonight
I've been told not to let my feelings go
I've been told my emotions never had the right to show
But I have this feeling burning deep within my heart
Won't wait to let this heavenly celebration start
When the Spirit gives me the nod
I'll get excited 'bout the things of God
I feel my faith renewing - I feel revival brewing
All over the world there's a burning desire
I feel the Church is stirring and it's gonna keep occurring
Till we're all baptized in His Holy Fire
