Light the Fire

No 90 in AOV NG is a great song by Amanda McKenna.  It is sort of Latin funk brass blast feel good gospel song that could even be used liturgically for entrance or recessional.  It has a proper gospel call and response.    The tempo is exactly twice what the music says it is so I suspect another misprint.

You can purchase the sheet music for download at As One Voice.

I made two backings – one is a slower tempo in a more bluesy style and the other a flawed attempt to match her rhythmic prowess.

Chorus

Light the fire and burn it deep within.

Take us higher into the rushing wind.

Open our hearts to your love and let it shine around,

And we can share it all around.

Verse 1

Listen to the word of God,

Listen to the word of God.

Hear the Spirit speak of love,

Hear the Spirit speak of love.

Coming to ignite the fire,

Coming to ignite the fire of love!

Chorus

Verse 2

Alleluia is our song,

Alleluia is our song.

Sing your praises to our God,

Sing your praises to our God.

Coming to ignite the fire,

Coming to ignite the fire of Love!

Chorus

We can let it shine around,

And we can share it all around.

Fire! Fire! Light the fire!

Fire! Fire! Light the fire!

Fire! Fire! Light the fire!

Fire! Fire! Light the fire of love!
