This song was written for a friend’s wedding, during which they planned to have a big bonfire. It rained, but they sang the song anyway, around a giant can sterno under a shelter, and it worked. In LRC, we have sung this song many times with no physical elemental fire present, and it still works. The fire is in the song.

Part One:
This fire is the power of love and forgiveness,
This fire is the power of kindness and gratitude!
Part Two:
Burning away everything
That stands in the way of love!
Part Three:
This fire brings purification,
This fire is healing the nations,
This fire, this fire, is Love!
