206. Wayside Communion

1 It’s when I meet the risen Lord,
I feel the fire burning in my heart;
And he explains the Living Word,
I feel the fire burning in my heart.

Refrain:
In my heart, in my heart,
I feel the fire burning in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
I feel the fire burning in my heart.

2 When faith takes hold on Jesus’ name,
I feel the fire burning in my heart;
And he applies the mystic flame,
I feel the fire burning in my heart. [Refrain]

3 It’s when anointed from above,
I feel the fire burning in my heart;
And witnessing for perfect love,
I feel the fire burning in my heart. [Refrain]

4 It’s when glad vict’ry comes to greet,
I feel the fire burning in my heart;
A captive freed, at Jesus’ feet,
I feel the fire burning in my heart. [Refrain]
