Story behind the song

This is another of our hymn remixes. I wrote
it this spring after hearing the tune one
night and suddenly realising it would make
a great remix! Again I have done a radical
rethink on the words. My husband is trying
to persuade me to remix this further and
turn it into a stormin' dance track. Well,
maybe I will at a later date....

Lyrics

You left the landscapes
Of Paradise to meet us.
To carry the torch of love that will heal us.
To light the flame in our frozen hearts.
To join our lives so long apart.

Then let Your fire light up our lives.
And blaze within our shining eyes.
Then trembling with shivers
Of amazing devotion.
Be bathed in worship
In Your Love's Sweet Ocean.

Jesus inspire me every day.
To work and speak and think in Your way.
To guard the flame in my very being.
To let the warmth of Your love
Bring me healing.

And so may we mirror You all our days.
And let Your Passion shine in our gaze.
Till at our end You run and embrace us.
And lead us to wonderful Heavenly places.
