1.

Fire from God ignites His people here to fight,
And Judah’s princes blaze midst sheaves like torches bright!
Come, enter in! All sin shall now be conquered.
Come, enter in! Crush reas’ning underfoot.
Led by the Spirit, go into God’s temple.
/: Let holy zeal consume you! :/
Led by the Spirit, trample every sin!
Destroy its root within!
Loose your bands, shake off the dust, arise and sit!
O Zion’s captive daughter, loose your bands!

Chorus:

For now the time’s at hand—We’ve been called to liberty!
No honor seek from man; We a light and salt shall be.
No more by form and custom bound
Where vain imagination’s found.
A mighty fire burns fervently!
We see our goal with clarity—
That in Christ’s teachings we remain,
And all God’s fullness we attain.

2.

Hear our fervent song! Break free and come along
To action in God’s service—joyful, glad, and strong.
Help we’ve received—yes, power sent from heaven.
Light we’ve received, and judgment it has brought.
Never again the same we’ll be—no, never!
/: We’ve faith for transformation. :/
Honor of man shall bind us nevermore,
For we’ve declared full war!
Old wineskins cannot contain the life that’s new;
The new wineskins are needed for new wine!

3.

Enter in with prayer; you’ll see God’s hand move there.
Come right into the ring where brotherhood we share—
Fellowship true with God and one another!
One Spirit drink with undivided heart.
Walk in the Spirit! Conquer sin completely!
/: Our faith gives us great boldness! :/
No one draws back, and no one shirks his post;
We’re warriors in God’s host.
Pow’r from God for life and zeal and ministry!
Yes, pow’r from God to be set free from sin!
