“For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:29

A couple of years ago, Cindy and I went to a Bailey Smith Conference in St. Louis. He was preaching on lukewarm Christian living. At one point of his sermon, he made the statement, “If our God is a consuming fire, how can we remain lukewarm?” The statement stuck with me, and a few months later we found ourselves in a Bed and Breakfast in Waxahachie, TX writing the words and music to “Consume me”. Cindy sang the song that evening at the revival we were involved in. It is our prayer that God would consume us, so that we can help ignite those whom we come in contact with.

I'm tired. I'm weak.
Lord I need You to speak
And fill my empty soul
You're strength. My shield.
Lord my life I yield
For You can make me whole
You are a consuming fire
Here I am, do what You will
Serving You is my desire

(Chorus)
Consume me. Renew me.
Let Your light in me be shown
Lord take my life, and melt this heart of stone
Refine me. Remind me
That I am Yours and not my own.
Lord consume me
'Till I am Yours alone
