A surge is welling up inside me, <br />I feel a fire, <br />and it burns. <br /> <br />I write, <br />and the fire is cooled. <br /> <br />I teach, <br />and the fire is cooled. <br /> <br />A knot is tied up inside me, <br />I have to undo it, <br />help me, Lord. <br /> <br />I compose, <br />and the fire is cooled. <br /> <br />I profess, <br />and the fire is cooled. <br /> <br />This feeling I have, <br />the fire that is burning me, <br />it is a passion, <br />a passion for Jesus.<br /><br />Jon McIntosh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fire-that-burns-2/
