Tommy Kodel - Let it Burn

No one lights a lamp to hide it
So let your light shine before men in such a way
That they may see your good deeds
and glorify your Father in heaven

I got this fire in my bones,
Ever since it’s been ignited
I can’t cover it, or hide it,
It burns when I keep quiet
So I… gotta let it out,
I can’t hold it in any longer, do away with all my fear and doubt
Words of life, what I got in my mouth,
Open up the floodgates send the rain in a land of drought
Got up off the broad road, choose the narrow route
Now cats asking me where my whereabouts,
I’m in my Father’s house, doing my Father’s biz,
Man, I’ve been transformed like Optimus
I’m not the same cat that you knew way back,
Talking all that smack on a white ghost track
Na, I’ve been across the world, seen a couple things
Your gift will make a way, it will put you before kings
So don’t hide your light,
Put it on a lampstand to give the world sight
Even through all the rain and thunder
Let your light shine, be a sign and wonder
You’re a city on a hill, salt of the earth
Destined for greatness since the day of your birth
Got true worth more than any could measure
Cause in you is the place ya Father chose to put His treasure, Let it burn

Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn (and Let your light shine) (4x)

Burn, like you’ve never burned before,
It’s your turn to soar
All creation’s waiting and is yearning for
You to shine your light, in the midst of war, be a beacon for
All of those in the struggle, all of those in the dark
Burn with the fire like Joan of Arc
Cause people need what you have, they need what you got
No more living lukewarm, be fervent hot
It’s time to burn with a passion that’s everlasting
Spread that love, joy, peace, compassion
Grace and truth, raise the youth
Teach em’ how to praise, not raise the roof
Man, I’m done with these games, all these lies and these claims
Only truth will remain, been refined in the flames
Fight the good fight and run your race
Let go of yourself and lay aside every weight
Cause there’s lives at stake, not time to wait
Can’t cast out darkness emanating more hate
You’ve been called and chosen for such a time as this
Anointed with joy, oil of bliss
So arise and shine, cause your light has come
There’s a glory inside you brighter than the sun
Cause the blind to see and the deaf to hear
Man, the power inside you can set the whole world free, let it burn

Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn (and Let your light shine) (4x)

Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord. (Let it Burn)
For the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (Burn (3x). Let it burn)
Therefore fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you (what)
And let no one despise your youth (let it burn)
But set an example to all in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity (let it burn/and let your light shine, burn)

Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn (and Let your light shine) (4x)
