Joseph Craft's "Fire Fall" is a cry for surrender, a song that invites the Spirit to "set my soul ablaze." The first lines of the song place you before God: "Here in Your presence I stand // Fully surrendered to You." And what is it that Joseph asks? "Spirit awaken inside of me // Invade my heart again." Is this scenario too distant to imagine? God is much closer than many people think! He is only a prayer away… On a bended knee, we invite Him to be part of our lives.
"Are you ready to let go of everything holding you back?" That's the big question that kept going through my mind as I listened to this song. This is Joseph Craft's debut release, a song about desiring the fullness of God by sacrificing ourselves completely to Jesus. Joseph wrote, performed, and produced this song himself.
You'll love the lyrics, such as "Spirit set my soul ablaze" and "Give me undying desire for all that You are," a humble prayer that follows the many examples we find in the Bible. There's no holding back in this plea. The imagery of fire used in the song represents both the cleansing and an unquenchable hunger for God's will. When Joseph sings, "Humbly I bow before You, I give You my all," you can sense the deepness of this surrender in a beautiful way.
If you've ever wanted to press the reset button on your spiritual life or just simply crave to be closer to God, then give this song a listen. May you listen to it with an open heart, and possibly you may just find yourself praying along. Enjoy!
