Carry the Fire - Andrew Peterson

I will hold your hand, love

As long as I can, love

Though the powers rise against us

Though your fears assail you

And your body may fail you

There’s a fire that burns within us

And we dream in the night

Of a city descending

With the sun in the center

And a peace unending

I will, I will carry the fire

I will, I will carry the fire

I’ll carry the fire for you

I will, I will carry the fire

I will, I will carry the fire

I’ll carry the fire for you

And we kneel in the water

The sons and the daughters

And we hold our hearts before us

And we look to the distance

And raise our resistance

In the face of the forces

Gathered against us

And we dream in the night

Of a king and a kingdom

Where joy writes the songs

And the innocent sing them

I will, I will carry the fire

I will, I will carry the fire

I’ll carry the fire for you

Oh, sing on, sing on

Oh, sing on, sing on (light up the darkness)

Oh, sing on, sing on

When your hope is gone, sing on

And we dream in the night

Of a feast and a wedding

And the groom in his glory

When the bride is made ready

I will, I will carry the fire

I will, I will carry the fire

I’ll carry the fire for you

I will, I will carry the fire

I will, I will carry the fire

I’ll carry the fire for you

Oh, sing on, sing on

Oh, sing on, sing on (light up the darkness)

Oh, sing on, sing on

When your hope is gone, sing on

Sing, on and on and on

On and on and on
