Fire of the Covenant
There was a sound rising high above the plains
Gentle voices were singing songs of praise
And there were prayers carried forth upon the wind
With nothing left, they still kept their faith in Him
Their hope was brighter than the fire of cruel and angry men
Their love was deeper than the snow and stronger than the wind
The fire of the covenant they made
Burned in their hearts like a flame
Unwavering, unquenchable, undimmed by the night
The fire of the covenant burned bright
There was a shout heard above the bitter storm
From faithful saints who had come to take them home
Where they would build up a place of peace and love
And raise a temple to bind our souls as one
The storms will come, and sin will rage, and enemies deride
Hold on they way, be not afraid, for God is on thy side
The fire of the covenant they made
Burned in their hearts like a flame
Unwavering, unquenchable, undimmed by the night
The fire of the covenant burned bright
We are the youth of the great and final days
Armed with truth and a legacy of faith
And we will rise up and shine the light He gives
And with the saints, we will testify -- He lives, He lives
The fire of the covenants we make
Burns in our hearts like a flame
Unwavering, unquenchable, undimmed by the night
The fire of the covenant burns bright, burns bright
We'll keep the fire burning bright
