The Flame (acoustic)

Does the flame burn brighter in your hand when it burned In the hand of your father when He says it’s your turn Take the torch of faith, run throughout the land Let the flame burn bright within you verse 1 When our father’s join in that pilgrim band They were searchin’ for a promised land They saw from afar what we know is near As the one who loves them all Does the flame burn brighter in your hand when it burned In the hand of your father when He says it’s your turn Take the torch of faith, run throughout the land Let the flame burn bright within you verse 2 When our father’s erred they were weak like us Times they failed to love, times they failed to trust But if we forgive, then our hearts will burn Of the one who loved and bought us. Does the flame burn brighter in your hand when it burned In the hand of your father when He says it’s your turn Take the torch of faith, run throughout the land Let the flame burn bright within you verse 3 Run the race with strength, run the race with skill Never speaking false, never thinking ill Press toward the mark for the greatest prize Of the one who loved and bought us Does the flame burn brighter in your hand when it burned In the hand of your father when He says it’s your turn Take the torch of faith, run throughout the land Let the flame burn bright within you verse 4 When this age shall end and the time has come For the trump to sound, and our Lord to come Then as one we’ll rise and our flame unite With the one who loved and bought us Does the flame burn brighter in your hand when it burned In the hand of your father when He says it’s your turn Take the torch of faith, run throughout the land Let the flame burn bright within you
