Another Good Song I'm Enjoying Lately

On Fire by Switchfoot

They tell you where you need to go
tell you when you need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
tell you who you need to be

Everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
filled with empty words

And you're on fire when He's near you
You're on fire when He speaks
You're on fire burning at
these mysteries

You give me one more time around
give me one more chance to see
You give me everything you are
give me one more chance to be near you

When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at
these mysteries
mysteries
mysteries

You're on fire
You're on fire

I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
and I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge

And I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at
these mysteries

Hi Emily! I don't think I have ever heard that song before, but the lyrics really speak to me. I'm always my happiest when I'm on fire for God. I've been praying for you & will keep it up. Have a good day!
