In You

Fire Fall Down

Cause I know that You’re aliveYou came to fix my broken life

And I’ll sing to glorifyYour Holy Name, Jesus Christ

You bought my life with the blood that You shed on the cross

When You died for the sins of menAnd You let out a cry

Crucified, now alive in me

These hands are Yours, teach them to serve as You please

And I’ll reach out,desperate to see all the greatness of God

May my soul rest assured in You

I’ll never be the sameNo I’ll never be the same

Cause I know that You’re aliveYou came to fix my broken life

And I’ll sing to glorifyYour Holy Name, Jesus Christ

You changed it allYou broke down the wall

When I spoke and confessedIn You I am blessed

Now I walk in the light in victorious sight of You

I’ll never be the sameNo I’ll never be the same

Cause I know that You’re aliveYou came to fix my broken life

And I’ll sing to glorifyYour Holy Name, Jesus Christ
