Set My Soul Afire Lord


May the words of this hymn written by Gene Bartlet in 1965 become the prayer of each Christian's heart.

     Set my soul afire Lord, for Thy Holy Word, Burn it deep within me, let Thy voice be heard
     Millions grope in darkness in this day and hour, I will be a witness, fill me with Thy power.
     Set my soul afire Lord, set my soul afire.
     Make my life a witness of Thy saving power. Millions grope in darkness, waiting for Thy Word. Set
     my soul afire, Lord, set my soul afire!
     Set my soul afire, Lord, for the lost in sin, Give to me a passion as I seek to win; Help me not to falter
     never let me fail, Fill me with Thy Spirit, let Thy will prevail.
     Make my life a witness of Thy saving power. Millions grope in darkness, waiting for Thy Word. Set
     my soul afire, Lord, set my soul afire!
     Set my soul afire, Lord, in my daily life. Far too long I've wandered in this day of strife; Nothing else will
     matter but to live for Thee, I will be a witness for Christ lives in me.
     Make my life a witness of Thy saving power. Millions grope in darkness, waiting for Thy Word. Set my
     soul afire, Lord, set my soul afire!

 Lord let it be so even now in my heart and the hearts of all Your people. In the Blessed Name of Jesus. Amen!
