Housefires - The Wick Lyrics






Ooh, we make room for You
Ooh, we make room for You
Oh, we open up our hearts
Have Your way in us
We open up our hearts
Have Your way in us

Ooh, whatever You wanna say
Oh, whatever You wanna do
Ooh, whatever You wanna say
Oh, whatever You wanna do

Oh my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

Oh, and I wanna burn, burn for You
Only You, only You
I wanna burn, burn for You
Only You, only You

Oh my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

Oh, oh
Burn with an everlasting fire
That won't run out
It can't be put out
It can't be put out 'cause I burn for You, I burn for You
Oh, with passion in my heart
And a hope running through my veins
I will burn for You, I'll burn for You alone
With a hope and a future before me
You're forgiveness all around me
And Your Spirit living in me
I will burn for You
Oh, and they'll see me and they'll see You
When I burn bright for You
'Cause it's Your love in my heart is the wick
I wanna burn

'Cause my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
Oh, my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna (I wanna burn) burn for Your name
(Oh, just burn tonight)

Yeah, my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
(Oh, open up your heart tonight)

My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

'Cause my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name (I wanna burn for You)
'Cause my heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name
My heart is the wick
Your love is the flame
And I wanna burn for Your name

    Beautiful song....

  45. I.... B....

    Oh with passion in my heart and hope running through my veins, I will burn for you, I will burn  for you lord.

  46. B.... J....

    I love this worship! The candle metaphor isn't your typical one used in worship. I like how the idea of being a candle burning for God also implies that you're letting God light up the darkness for others through you and if you're a Yankee Candle then you're also giving off an amazing aroma for God's glory that others will sense in your lifestyle. Back in the Old Testament it says that sacrifices gave off a scent that God was pleased with. But now Christ's sacrifice lives in us as the Holy Spirit burns inside us and our sacrifices we make for God is living our lives for His glory and not ours and He is pleased by our actions. Just my initial thoughts on this song, probably a lot of inaccuracies and stuff in there I am not aware of but I felt like sharing. Don't hold me to the fire on it.

    B.... J....

    Great Word Brady - the sacrifice of our flesh does give off an energy of God's love around us - also known as a scent or a sense or an awareness. Thank you.

    B.... J....

    You're a better theologian than you give yourself credit for. That was some good stuff you wrote there!

    B.... J....

    I thought it was great! God bless you!😄❤

    B.... J....

    That was great! I just shared it with my kids.

    B.... J....

    its also referring to God melting away the wax (hardness, or anything that would distance us from Him) around our hearts so that we become the full expression of who He created us to be

  47. I.... ....

    Please pray for me brothers and sisters :(

    I.... ....

    You are blessed and covered by GRACE you are royalty you are your Father's prince. you are loved! Encouragement and peace fall on you now in Jesus name!

    I.... ....

    Wow, Amen...

    This ought to have 10 million views and 10 million likes. This song is how God intended us to live, to be constantly consumed by the power of His love.

  56. M.... P....

    HERMOSA ADORACION...

    Singing "Set a fire down in my soul, that I can't contain, that I can't control...I want more of you God..." while listening to this. :) So blessed by this worship.

  60. A.... D....

    Amazing Worship. Does anyone know the name of the church or of the concert? God bless you

    A.... D....

    Church is Grace Midtown in atlanta GA. Concert was Housefires. =)

  61. J.... B....

    Hey I definitely love this song it is so beautiful but could someone help me understand the heart is the wick. I haven't completely understood the Scriptures in Isaiah concerning this

    J.... B....

    @Jasprit Singh I think you have a great attitude!  I have to say, sometimes i wish God would come down and tell us exactly what is best.  But I think God gave us a conscience and reason to help us understand and decide.  Loving other people, regardless of their backgrounds and beliefs, seems like the right way to go!

    J.... B....

    +Rick Flannery Thanks! I try to do my best! And I think God trusts us enough to come to that conclusion! But he may say something similar to that! We can't pick and choose to love his creation...after all, this ALL is his creation!

    J.... B....

    +Jasprit Singh +Rick Flannery I really enjoyed reading this thread. Thank you to both of you for sharing your respective faiths in a respectful but still fervent and honest way. Neither of you hurt the other, but you both stayed true to your beliefs. That is beautiful. I believe in Jesus Christ as the way. I am encouraged by you both as His creations.

    J.... B....

    The candle has a purpose right?
    To give light.
    It can't do that without the main source of energy, fire.
    if we are the wick we are useless without the flame.
    The word "in" means to be strongly influence by.

    J.... B....

    Our love for God, burning in our hearts, is visible to others so that they can see.

  62. E.... K....

    Chords? Anyone?

    E.... K....

    +Elizabeth Kemp on their website :)

    E.... K....

    It's most definitely not on their website. This is spontaneous. It didn't make it onto the chord charts/song list.

  63. M.... A....

    Chords are G C Em/D C
    At least that what my worship team uses

  64. J.... s....

    Wow factor

  65. J.... s....

    i can only see u get bigger may the lord glory to glory you

  66. M.... ....

    i really wanted the lyrics....so i wrote them down if anyone wants them...

    With hope and a future, before me, your forgiveness all around me, and your spirit living in me, I will burn for you.

    Oh and they’ll see me, and they’ll see you, when I burn bright for you 
    coz it’s your love and my heart is the wick and I wanna burn.

    My heart is the wick

    (My heart is the wick

  67. E.... G....

    The heart song of a truly forgiven person...are songs like HouseFire. You can't fake this.

  68. N.... Y....

    Man you guys are awesome! And even better. Your awesome at worshipping Jesus. Lol. Rock on dudes/dudets.

  69. M.... Z....

    Perfeito!!!

  70. M.... ....

    this song is what is carrying me today
    AMEN.

  71. J.... K....

    anyone know the chords for this song?

  72. A.... H....

    Oh yes Jesus I am the wick and your Flame is your Love

  73. E.... F....

    I've been really noticing how this song has been effecting people, and it makes me so happy! I really think it is important that our generation has this song in their heart and minds so that we can let Jesus our Father TRULY love us! With out God's love where would our passion be?

  74. L.... S....

    Beautiful

  75. A.... C....

    Great sounding group where do they originate from?

    They are out of Atlanta, GA.

  76. R.... R....

    Excellent Worship for an Excellent GOD. He deserves all of our praise, our seeking, our questions, our concerns, and our tears. Total surrender means receiving all of His blessings. Because a Good Father is going to care especially for the children that pay attention to Him. How can you bless someone that keeps running away from you?!

    This <3 So inspiring, beautiful, encouraging this song. Can't stop listening. 

  80. T.... C....

    Worship should be like this, the worship leader is supposed to lead and the church is supposed to worship. It shouldn't be the worship leader doing everything, and it shouldn't be set in stone how the set list goes, it should be spontaneous and if God lays a song on your heart you should just sing it.
