I want a faith that’s so alive
That it can be seen
I want a hope that cannot hide
Even when I’m weak
I want a love that speaks the truth
Of what I believe
I want You
You’re all I need
Set a fire in me
Bring me to my knees
Like a rushing wind
Consume this heart again
Set a fire
Turn the spark inside of me
Into a holy flame
That melts away all my fear
And fills me with strength
Come and bring this heart to life
Cause I’m not ashamed
I want You
You’re all I need
Yeah, I want You Jesus
You’re all I need
Set a fire in me
Bring me to my knees
Like a rushing wind
Consume this heart again
Set a fire
Set a fire
Oh, let your love be a wave of mercy
Call my name, open up my eyes
Oh, fill my heart with a passion burning
Call my name, open up my eyes
Set a fire in me
Bring me to my knees
Like a rushing wind
Consume this heart again
Set a fire
Set a fire

Behind the Song:“We had finished writing it and had the demo. We were touring like crazy and played a show in Canada. Afterwards, I had to drive through the night to Ottawa with no sleep after four shows and then fly from Canada to Miami to Haiti for three days, and then fly straight back out to the road and play a bunch more shows. I was exhausted. I’d already been to Haiti two times and the last time I was in Haiti there was a huge disaster. There was an uprising and we got stuck down there for a couple of weeks. We were hiding in a closet in a house for several days. I did not want to go back to Haiti. I’ve seen the worst that there is there. I was in the plane and I was nodding off and then I heard the lyrics of ‘Set a Fire.’
It was just a demo at that time. It like hit me like a ton of bricks. The reason I was going back to Haiti is God needed to set my heart afire again. He needed to reignite the passion in my heart for those who were hurting. I was so busy running my own life and taking care of things that needed to get done, but I had lost the fire and the desire to be a voice for those out there. I was being a voice, but I had lost the passion of it. I heard that lyric and I was sitting there crying on the plane. That song is very personal to me.” - Jason Roy
