I became a servant of the Lord not many years ago,
There was nothing I wouldn't do for Him,
No place I wouldn't go.
I've always served Him faithfully,
Each day on Him I'd call,
To think that I could one day stray
Made no sense to me at all.
But somehow my steps have faltered;
I've somehow waivered from my stand.
I know I'm still His child,
But how I long to feel His hand.

Lord, I'm tired of being a dampened Fire,
That rarely burns at all.
Help me to shine the Light for Jesus' sake,
And get up each time I fall.
Lord, I know I can't do everything,
But I need a place to start.
Bring back the burden that once moved my heart.
You may feel your life is over, that you'll never overcome,
This weakness in our lives that takes
Away the strength to run;
But the emptiness inside you,
Doesn't have to always be.
His desire for us is still the same
And He's waiting patiently.
So, no matter what we think or feel,
It's time to make our claim.
We must go back to where we were
When we first called on His name.
O Lord, I'm tired of being a dampened Fire,
That rarely burns at all.
Help me to shine the Light for Jesus' sake,
And get up each time I fall.
Lord, I know I can't do everything,
But I need a place to start.
Bring back the burden that once moved my heart,
Moved my heart.
Lord, I know I can't do everything,
But I need a place to start.
Bring back the burden that once moved my heart,
Moved my heart.
Bring back the burden.
