We used to have... stove
And we burned wood in, but some burnt coal
You had to really fill it up to make it last through the night.
So I filled it up just as full as I could
I really hold it up with that really hard...
But it seemed it always run out before daylight.

Yes the fire went out, and I woke so cold
It seems like the chill went all the way to my bones.
Well, I was young and didn't understand what it was all about,
Though I remember momma talking about the fire, it won't go out.

The time went by, and I begun to realize if the real true is in my soul
And I remember momma saying, just let Jesus have control!
So I opened up, and let him live, and now there is no doubt
That he'll be here forever, so that the fire won't go out!

Now the fire won't go out, it's burning warm here in my soul
It don't need no wood, it don't need no coal!
Now Jesus lives within my heart that's what love is all about
And he's love is eternal, so now the fire won't go out!

Oh, the fire won't go out, it's burning warmly in my soul
It don't need no wood, it don't need no coal!
Now Jesus lives within my heart that's what love is all about
And he's love is eternal, so now the fire won't go out!
Yes, he's love is eternal, so now the fire won't go out!
