Fire In the Cradle, Fire on the Cross

 

 

A fire in the cradle consumes all the earth-

It sets souls afire with its blaze.

Sparking the hearts of old men with new birth

making lights of the world filled with praise!

 

A tree set on fire with invisible flame

Illumines the world with its light

The flame is real love and the tree is a cross

And its fervent fire’s breaking the night.

 

Fire in the Cradle, fire on the cross

To darkness a  Holy holocaust

Burning, consuming, undoing the night

Refiners fire let me walk in your light

 

The radiant light that shows forth from these fires

Shines forth and warms all in its glow

It quickens cold stones into coals of desire

a passion that darkness can’t know.

 

The fire in the cradle is the fire on the cross

The God/Man from eternity

He quenchs the fire of The Almighty’s wrath

And give us the victory.

 

Fire in the Cradle, fire on the cross

To darkness  brings a  Holy holocaust

Burning, consuming, undoing the night

Refining fire let me walk in your light
