Marlou: “This was written for the first Heaven on Earth conference in Rotterdam. We were, and still are, so much into the Fire of God and longing for more. I was thinking about the vision in Ezechiel 1, where Ezechiel sees God on His throne, carried by the four living creatures. With them was something like fiery coals, burning the way torches do, with the fire flashing between the living creatures. The fire had a brilliance, and out of the fire came lightning. The living creatures kept speeding here and there like flashes of lightning.
God's love is powerful, a consuming fire. His love is radical and He is a jealous God, He does not want to share his love. He gave His all, for all of us!”
lyrics
Before the world began
God foresaw the loss of many lives
He reached out His hands
Through time and Christ to save humankind
He cries out for His own people
Ev’ry beat speaks of His restless heart
That will never, ever give up hope
Until He finds the objects of His Love
You and me
Chorus:
Our God is a consuming fire
Our God’s love is a consuming fire
So would you not hear
His voice calling you every day
Won’t you draw near through time and Christ
For all eternity
He wants to keep and to hold you
Cleanse and heal you, fill you with His light
He will never, ever give up hope
Until He sees His son’s spotless bride
You and Me
(Chorus)
He paid the price for us all
For the great and the small
He will not share, not at all
His Love with anyone else
(Chorus)
