A brilliant burning flame
How did we get away out here
So far from home
The path of least resistance
Always travels down
We used to be on the mountain top
Where the eagle soar
Now it seems we can hardly keep our children anymore
It used to be so fresh and new
the first love was divine
I was the empty vessel
where the filling wine
It's like a faded memory a dream I can't recall
But every now and then I hear
a distant urgent call
Where do we find him
Right where you left him
How do we get back
The way you came
How do we love him
The way he loved you
With the brilliant burning flame
Remember now from whence you fallen
The work you did at first
There's a salve waiting for your eye
And water for your thirst
Come out of her my precious bride
Spotless and be pure
God of Elijah is here
I'm coming home I've been a fool
A prodigal and blind
It took a while to realise
I left you far behind
Your holiness could not endure
My selfish worldly ride
Your word could not be bent to fit
My sinful foolish pride
But now I've found him
Right where I left him
And now I come back
The way I came
And now I love him
The way he loved me
With the brilliant burning flame
