A bit of a bonus this week! Audio and video versions. Twofer! Heaven’s Fire is inspired by a recent reading of the book of Acts. Simply listen to the song or watch the video to hear Seth talk more about what he was thinking when he wrote it.
With Heaven’s fire on the ceiling
And the air as thick as violence loud
There’s amalgamated breathing
In foreign voices that address a crowd.
Drunken foolishness, look how they talk so!
Old men seers and the young men dream?
How a cloud could be a miracle
Things aren’t always as they always seemed
Sound good news
In joyful jubilation
Everything now new
The rooftop revelations
Resounding through hearts’ darkened halls
Greek and Jew: God’s son can save us all
Save us all!
Now Prison doors are shaking fearless
Static bodies move again to life
Useless legs no longer needless
Simple men now unafraid to die
I don’t know what we’re not doing anymore
That our faith is less than great renown.
Are we shamed to name our Savior?
Do we love our power more than God’s?

A fresh sound. Fresh fire.
It’s different….heard it once, the words are great.
It’s fun, but more than that, I think it’s anointed.
Seth’s hair looks like it’s coming out of his ear lobes:( Sorry, it was distracting:) On a lighter note, inspiring lyrics! Retro sound guys; interesting…getting Chad & Jeremy flashbacks! Is that Seth singing lead? Bro, you sound awesome.
Sometimes hearing the background of a written song pulls it together for the listener…which was my experience. While hiding the writer’s thoughts may lead to lots of “hmmm” moments, when speaking from Scripture, the song has authority to realize the truth it stemmed from. And wasn’t this recorded in my house? (which leads me to ask, where on earth was Buddy?? kidding)
This is awesome!! Its great to hear Seth on lead-you all are gifted.
