THE FIRE IS FADING
Share
The Fire Is Fading is a Christian worship song about Christ sustaining His people in an age when love grows cold and many turn away from God's truth. Inspired by Jesus' warning about increasing lawlessness, the song contrasts spiritual decline with the enduring power of the gospel and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. Its lyrics celebrate the believer's new life, righteousness and reconciliation through Christ, while expressing a heartfelt prayer for spiritual passion to remain alive. The repeated plea, "Do not let the fire fade," reflects dependence on God's grace rather than human determination, and the bridge affirms His faithfulness to complete what He has begun. For listeners searching for Christian songs about spiritual perseverance, rekindling faith, the Holy Spirit or remaining faithful in difficult times, The Fire Is Fading offers an encouraging declaration of confidence in Jesus' sustaining power.
Matthew 24:12, Romans 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:6
Lyrics
When the shadows fall and faith grows cold
When the night runs deep and hearts grow old
Still Your cross declares that I am Yours
Still Your grace has opened mercy's doors
You have made all things new in me
You have set this wounded spirit free
By Your Spirit breathing life again
You have called me out from where I've been
Do not let the fire fade
Keep me burning in Your grace
I am held alive in Christ
By the One who gave His life
Do not let the fire fade
Let Your Spirit burn in me
Till this darkness turns to praise
Jesus keep this heart ablaze
When the many trade the truth for lies
When a colder love fills empty eyes
Still Your gospel is the power to save
Still Your blood has overcome the grave
I am righteous by Your gift alone
I am reconciled and called Your own
By eternal life alive in me
Keep me walking in Your victory
Do not let the fire fade
Keep me burning in Your grace
I am held alive in Christ
By the One who gave His life
Do not let the fire fade
Let Your Spirit burn in me
Till this darkness turns to praise
Jesus keep this heart ablaze
Your love will burn, it will remain
No night can steal what You sustain
No flood of lies can quench this flame
No power of hell can break Your name
What You began, You will complete
What You have lit will not retreat
From fading coals to holy fire
Breathe on this heart and lift it higher
Do not let the fire fade
Keep me burning in Your grace
I am held alive until
Jesus keeps this heart ablaze
Your love will burn, it will remain
Your love will burn, it will remain
