The forest burns, the grass withers in the flames
As does your life, your soul, caught in sin
Turned to ashes, you are lost
All is dead, all is worthless, burnt to nothing
The death you die, you die each day
But hope died in your place
The fires consume your identity
Yet a life-giving flame brings you hope
A cross of blazing hope;
Resurrection that brings new life
The forest once burned, the grass once withered
Quenching rain fell and devoured the flames
Under the ashes new life appeared
Joy rode in on the wings of hope
The night of death is swept away
By the first lights of morning
The dawn of a new day
Showers light on the blooms of life
On the back of life is salvation
With songs of a new day on my lips
The joy of your salvation ignites my soul
Consuming my being with radiant hope
We now share in the joy of light
Shining from the everlasting fire
