Matt Maher - Firelight Lyrics






Dear Jesus where are you tonight
I bear a sadness deep inside
I’m aching for a faith in things I strain to feel
I need to know that you are real

Oh Savior open up my eyes
I wanna see You like a child
There is a haze on the horizons of my heart
Dear Jesus show me where you are

Be my firelight, be my firelight
Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight

How do I move on and be free
From all these things that I have seen
All of my memories are turning into scars
Oh my God put back what’s been torn apart

Be my firelight, be my firelight
Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight

If anyone remembers my name
If I’m ever known for anything
Let it be I ran into the night
Running with a firelight, firelight

Cause I don’t wanna stroll the streets of gold
While there’s still a soul to love
Let me run into the night
Running with a firelight, firelight
Burning with a firelight, firelight

    l.... r....

    L Rosa yes

  27. G.... O....

    The melody seems that ones to claim the Holy Spirit, raising the hands and praising the Lord.

  28. G.... ....

    Matt said this one was inspired by a Mormon that moved away. When we went to the concert it was ALL RED

    G.... ....

    When I saw him he said it was based on the letters of St Theresa of Calcutta- when she was going through the dark night of the soul.

  29. S.... ....

    "If anyone remembers my name
    If I'm ever known for anything
    Let it be that I ran into the night
    Running with a firelight, firelight"

    These lyrics made me cry a little... because it's so beautiful. Being so determined to follow Jesus into the depths of the night with His Light as your guide. It really touches the soul, thank You God, and thank You Matt Maher. Blessings be upon both <3

    S.... ....

    I love this song I am prying

    does he believe you have to be baptized to get to heaven?

    j.... h....

    when you are baptised you are filled with the Holy spirit that helps you move in a righteous way. And the original sin we inherit as soon as we are born is washed away.

    j.... h....

    @lucy12213 no when you acept Jesus as youe savior you have to holy spirit in you. You do not need to be baptized to get to heaven

    j.... h....

    when you accept Him as your savior you surrender everything to Him.  The holy spirit will come upon you too and be your guidance. Jesus had to be baptised to become Jesus Christ ( which means anoint) too. He knew that and acknowledged it, and went to john to baptise him. and that time heaven opened and the spirit came upon jesus in a form of a dove. the devil uses our ignorance to his advantage. but don't worry we have different beliefs on this earth but always read the bible and use it as a weapon. the word of God is more powerful than a two edged sword. byeee

    j.... h....

    +lucy12213 True Jesus was baptized and the Holy Spirit did descend upon him in the form of a dove. And the Father did commission him to go and start his ministry at that point. But actually you do not have to be baptized to be saved. It is when you confess to God that you are a sinner and, then accept him into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. Baptism is an outward expression of salvation. The reason we are baptized is because we are showing everyone publicly that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. Notice that when Jesus was baptized that was his first public act. That was his example to us of going public with our faith, and baptism. As well as when Jesus was commissioned by the Father and the Holy Spirit descended upon him. But baptism has nothing to do with being saved. Baptism comes after salvation as an outward expression of faith. But everybody just to be clear do not worry you don't have to be baptized to get saved. If you are saved you might want to get baptized, if that is what the Holy Spirit is leading you to do. And yes we all have different viewpoints on things, but no where in the Bible does it say: "Thou shalt be saved by baptism" So this is no something any christian should disagree on

  43. M.... A....

    Perfect timing.
    I needed to hear this song today.
    Thank you for writing honest lyrics. I can relate to it. ♡

    M.... A....

    God has been known for bringing the right song at the right time to help a person in pain. 2 years ago I was in a dark place, but one day I heard "Dead Come to Life" by Jonathon Thulin and started my own rebirth. Thanks to Him I now have a flame inside me that can't be put out, and I have turned my life around. With God by my side, I know I am now on the right path, and that I cannot be defeated, even by Satan himself.

  44. M.... R....

    uauuu !!! So nice !

  45. M.... ....

  49. S.... D....

    Firelight speaks my feeling.

    Tired of listening to music that speaks worldly lyrics, my spirit feeling down, led me to search music that glorified God. The search was long, and finally, found a Catholic Christian singer, Matt Maher.
    Matt, the songs give joy to my soul, my spirit feels alive, thank you!
    Never knew music like this existed.

    Let's pray for Matt, "God illuminate Matt Maher, use his voice to glorify you, his music touch the hearts of the people, and they too praise you. Amen."

    S.... D....

    he's Christan

    S.... D....

    +Byron Hunley of course he is a Christian.. he is Catholic! Catholic = Christian

    S.... D....

    +marquezm1 yeah

    S.... D....

    Also check out TobyMac. He is a Catholic Christian singer! :D God bless you!

  50. t.... ....

    It is empowering to understand not only that spiritual crisis is a common thing, but a holy thing that has been experienced and written about by so many Saints - most predominantly St John of the Cross who wrote the poem "The Dark Night of the Soul."

    St Therese of Lisieux also wrote of her experience. The most prolonged recorded incidence of this phenomenon is that of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, of whose experience is the inspiration for this song. This is comparative to the experience of Saint Paul of the Cross whose "Dark Night" lasted 45 years, and he recovered from it.

    Mother Teresa's however lasted from 1948 up until almost her death in 1997. She did have brief relief interludes. Let us consider the great gift of faith she had to endure The Dark Night of the Soul her entire ministry, all the while serving Our Lord in "madness."

    I feel this is the main theme of this song, that she RAN into the night with her Firelight, and in doing so, became a model for us all when we too are plunged into spiritual darkness for a time, only to come out the other side even more fervent in our desires to serve Our Lord.

    Thank You Lord for such examples in our beloved Saints so that we too may become Saints. Amen.
