I've Got A Fire!

I came across this song as part of my Spotify feed this morning, and it spurred something in me.

Pat Barrett has a song called “I’ve Got A Fire,” that so sums up how excited we should be about serving God, but sometimes we let things get in the way.

“Break off the chains, let the horses run
Unleash the praise at the top of your lungs
Right now, we're living in the glory days
Right now, Heaven is in this place

“I can sing forever how You freed my soul
Freed my soul, freed my soul
I can sing forever how You made me whole
Made me whole, made me whole
I can sing forever how You freed my soul
Freed my soul, freed my soul
I can sing forever how You made me whole
Made me whole, made me whole”

Matthew 22:37-38 says, “Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’³⁸ This is the first and greatest commandment.”

I love that verse! ALL your heart, ALL your soul, ALL your mind. Sold out completely, lock, stock and barrel! God didn’t love us halfheartedly, we shouldn’t love Him that way, either. Don’t worry about what anybody else says or thinks, love God with everything you have!

Then I looked for a video from the song, and boy, did I find one! The video shows Pat Barrett’s father, Marty, listening to his son’s song. Joyful chaos ensues!

I’ve embedded the video below, watch it and you’ll see what I mean. I don’t know about you, but I could use some joyful chaos today!
