All Fired Up by Petra

Back in the day, this was my favorite Petra album, it probably still is out of all the releases in the 1980's.

This album is listed on my Albums I've Owned page.

This artist is listed on my Seen in Concert page.

When the weight of the world begins to show

When the flames of faith begin to die before I know

Time to be rekindled by the everlasting Source

The all Consuming Fire, illuminating Force

Like a blacksmith bellows aim

He fans the embers to a flame

I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up

There's a flame burning in my soul

And my heart is a burning coal

I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up

Those who wait up on the Lord

Find their strength has been restored

The flames of renewal burn within

I'm all charged up in my spirit again

I'm all fired up - I'm all fired up tonight

I've been told not to let my feelings go

I've been told my emotions never had the right to show

But I have this feeling burning deep within my heart

Won't wait to let this heavenly celebration start

When the Spirit gives me the nod

I'll get excited 'bout the things of God

We had another change in the top 5 (30 days), Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones dropped out of the 5 spot after 23 days of being in the top 5 to be replaced by Dirty Diana by Shaman's Harvest. It took 4 days for it to get into the top 5, which is unusual, the pages get the majority of their hits in the first day or 2 when posted.

In the top 10 of all time, the Real Thing by Bo Bice passed I'll Be by Edwin McCain for the 3rd spot.
