Jeremiah Minahan - The Fire Won't go Out lyrics

rate me

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!
