    Torchlighters

    Go! the torch must be carried on
    All the world must see flames in the eyes
    Kindled by the love of Christ
    Set your heart upon the prize
    Run until you see the eternal dawn
    Go! the torch must be carried on

    Men of God, with their souls on fire
    Bore His light in their lives no matter the cost
    Bore prison and stripes, even their lives they lost
    Words they spoke were Holy Spirit inspired
    Will we be like them with souls on fire?

    Fires they lit are burning still
    But the flames are fewer and dimmer these days
    Now is the need is urgent to be ablaze
    We need to obey, and run in His will
    Will our fires be burning still.

    Go! the torch must be carried on
    All the world must see flames in the eyes
    Kindled by the love of Christ
    Set your heart upon the prize
    Run until you see the eternal dawn
    Go! the torch must be carried on

    Children called, with their souls still in doubt
    Torn between the True Word and Devilish fear
    Torn between the needs known and the desires here
    Wordly and distracted but called out
    Will we be like torches, souls on fire?

    Fires so bright and burning high
    In the flames consume all our hindering fear
    On the smoke float the ashes of pleasures here
    We need to obey. The Return draws nigh
    We need flames our souls to fill.

    Go! the torch must be carried on
    All the world must see flames in the eyes
    Kindled by the love of Christ
    Set your heart upon the prize
    Run until you see the eternal dawn
    Go! the torch must be carried on

    Torches aflame in the shadow
    Out in dangers running not fearing the foe
    ‘Til the end enters this age, burning souls know
    We’ll never be quenched, for the One we follow
    Never dies. He set us afire.
