(feat. Joel Figueroa & SarahBeth Smith)


Relight the fire on the altar 

Bring back the reverence for your name 

Give me the fear of God fill me with wonder 


And revive the hunger, make me desperate, restore the fragrance of my worship 

Cleanse my eyes oh Lord, I need to see you face to face 


Holy you are Holy 

Worthy the most Worthy 

Exalted above all others 

Jesus our Lord 


Relight the fire on the altar 

Bring back the reverence for your name 

Give me the fear of God fill me with wonder 


And revive the hunger, make me desperate, restore the fragrance of my worship 

Cleanse my eyes oh Lord, I need to see you face to face


Holy you are Holy 

Worthy the most Worthy 

Exalted above all others 

Jesus our Lord (Holy) 

Holy you are Holy (You are) 

Worthy the most Worthy 

Exalted above all others 

Oh Jesus our Lord 

Jesus our Lord 


We love you Jesus our Lord 

We love you Jesus our Lord 

We love you Lord, we love you Lord 

Oh we love you 

Oh what an honor, what an honor, what an honor to love you 

I get to love you Lord, I get to love you  

We love you

We love you Jesus 

We really love you 


And I'll pledge my life to you I'm your temple fill me with fire 

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning 

I know you will in the highs, in the lows, when I don't understand 

Oh you will keep my fire in my heart for I am not the high priest but you are 

I am not the high priest but you are

Oh you keep the flame Lord, you keep the flame 


(I?ll pledge)

I'll pledge my life to you I'm your temple fill me with fire 

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning 

(I?ll pledge)

I?ll pledge my life to you I'm your temple fill me with fire (all my life, all my life)

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning (I?ll pledge, I?ll pledge)

And I?ll pledge my life to you I'm your temple fill me with fire (all my life Lord)

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning

With a flame of love, a flame of love

With a flame of love (oh yes), a flame of love (oh yes all my life oh) 


Holy you are Holy 

Worthy the most Worthy (oh praise) 

Exalted above all others 

You're Jesus our Lord 

Holy you are Holy 

Worthy the most Worthy 

Exalted above all others 

Jesus our Lord 

I?ll pledge my life to you I'm your temple fill me with fire (every hour, second, and minute)

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning (I?ll pledge)

I?ll pledge my life to you I?m your temple fill me with fire 

A living sacrifice on your altar you keep me burning

With a flame of love, a flame of love

With a flame of love, (yes all our lives) a flame of love (I?ll pledge, I?ll pledge, just the voices, I?ll pledge)

I?ll pledge my life to you (I?m your temple)

I?m your temple (fill me with fire)

Fill me with fire (all my life when I feel it and when I don't Lord, a living) 

A living sacrifice (on your altar) 

On your altar (you keep me burning)

You keep me burning
