Don't Let the Fire Die

Steven Curtis Chapman



F  Fsus  C7sus  F  Fsus C7sus

                 Bb/F                       F      Bb/F

I can still feel the prayers you prayed for me all those years

          C7                                             F         Bb/F

And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made

          F          Bb/F              F                     Bb/F

And I can still hear your words spoken from a heart of great concern

       C7sus                                          F-Bb/F   F

Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love Him more than anything

                          Cm/F              Bb/F

And I've watched the wind blow hard against you

                             Am7             Bb

And I've seen your faith get weakened by the pain

                  Gm                     F/A          Bb/C    C7sus

And I want you to know that I will be praying for you to hold on



CHORUS

F                  C7sus

Don't let the fire die

                                 C7sus

The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried

          Dm                         Am           Bb

But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes

   F                          C7sus              F    C7sus  F  C7sus

So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die



           F                Bb/F

This heavy weight you carry around

           F                      Bb/F

Of letting yourself and everybody down

           C7sus                             F

Is pouring water on the passion that used to burn so bright

                            Cm/F              Bb/F

Well I know you've got your reasons for resentment

                          Am         Bb

And I know it's more than I can understand

               Gm7                       F/A

So just let me say that I'm gonna be praying for you

C7sus

To let it all go



CHORUS

F             Fsus-F C7sus

Don't let the fire   die

    F              Fsus   F      C7sus

The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried

          Dm                         Am7          Bb

But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes



BRIDGE

C7sus                                                   F-Fsus  F

And I'm not praying for the fire to burn the way it did before

Fsus       Dm7                            Am7

ŚCause I believe the one who started this flame in your heart

   Gm7               C7sus

He wants to give you more

                      F    C7sus

So don't let the fire die

No,no,no don't let the fire    die

The flame has been dimmed   by the tears that you've cried

But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes

ŚCause I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes
