(3/4 time. 8 bar intro)
Colours of day dawn into the mind
The sun has come up,
The night is behind.
Go down to the city into the street
And lets give the message
To the people we meet.
So light up the fire
And let the flame burn
Open the door, let Jesus return.
Take seeds of his spirit
Let the fruit grow
Tell the people of Jesus
Let his love show.
8 bar instrumental
Go through the park on into the town
The sun still shines on,
It never goes down.
The light of the world is risen again
The people of darkness
Are needing our friend.
So light up the fire
And let the flame burn
Open the door, let Jesus return.
Take seeds of his spirit
Let the fruit grow
Tell the people of Jesus
Let his love show.
8 bar instrumental
Open your eyes, look into the sky,
The darkness has come,
The sun came to die.
The evening draws on,
The sun disappears,
But Jesus is living,
His spirit is near.
So light up the fire
And let the flame burn
Open the door, let Jesus return.
Take seeds of his spirit
Let the fruit grow
Tell the people of Jesus
Let his love show.
So light up the fire
And let the flame burn
Open the door, let Jesus return.
Take seeds of his spirit
Let the fruit grow
Tell the people of Jesus
Let his love show.
