Great song! So many Christians today are so intent on those future streets of gold, they completely neglect the streets of concrete and asphalt where Jesus actually _IS NOW_ (Matthew 25:31-46).
It is empowering to understand not only that spiritual crisis is a common thing, but a holy thing that has been experienced and written about by so many Saints - most predominantly St John of the Cross who wrote the poem "The Dark Night of the Soul." St Therese of Lisieux also wrote of her experience. The most prolonged recorded incidence of this phenomenon is that of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, of whose experience is the inspiration for this song. This is comparative to the experience of Saint Paul of the Cross whose "Dark Night" lasted 45 years, and he recovered from it. Mother Teresa's however lasted from 1948 up until almost her death in 1997. She did have brief relief interludes. Let us consider the great gift of faith she had to endure The Dark Night of the Soul her entire ministry, all the while serving Our Lord in "madness." I feel this is the main theme of this song, that she RAN into the night with her Firelight, and in doing so, became a model for us all when we too are plunged into spiritual darkness for a time, only to come out the other side even more fervent in our desires to serve Our Lord. Thank You Lord for such examples in our beloved Saints so that we too may become Saints. Amen.
amen and amen... those lyric were the questions I want to ask jesus, exactly the questions i was asking on my mind. right song at the right time. amen. oh Lord be my firelight.
Dear Jesus where are you tonight I bear a sadness deep inside I’m aching for a faith in things I strain to feel I need to know that you are real Oh Savior open up my eyes I wanna see You like a child There is a haze on the horizons of my heart Dear Jesus show me where you are Be my firelight, be my firelight Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight How do I move on and be free From all these things that I have seen All of my memories are turning into scars Oh my God put back what’s been torn apart Be my firelight, be my firelight Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight If anyone remembers my name If I’m ever known for anything Let it be I ran into the night Running with a firelight, firelight Cause I don’t wanna stroll the streets of gold While there’s still a soul to love Let me run into the night Running with a firelight, firelight Burning with a firelight, firelight
I thought there couldn't come anything better, he did! And he will be even greater the next song I'm sure! Genius musician + God inspired lyrics = let us adore the Mighty God of Heaven ❤️
"If anyone remembers my name If I'm ever known for anything Let it be that I ran into the night Running with a firelight, firelight" These lyrics made me cry a little... because it's so beautiful. Being so determined to follow Jesus into the depths of the night with His Light as your guide. It really touches the soul, thank You God, and thank You Matt Maher. Blessings be upon both
God has been known for bringing the right song at the right time to help a person in pain. 2 years ago I was in a dark place, but one day I heard "Dead Come to Life" by Jonathon Thulin and started my own rebirth. Thanks to Him I now have a flame inside me that can't be put out, and I have turned my life around. With God by my side, I know I am now on the right path, and that I cannot be defeated, even by Satan himself.
I love Matt Maher I loved seeing u in concert with casting crowns when y'all came to Tallahassee come back soon !!!😊😊😊😊💙💙💙💙💙Your my favorite person Matt
Firelight speaks my feeling. Tired of listening to music that speaks worldly lyrics, my spirit feeling down, led me to search music that glorified God. The search was long, and finally, found a Catholic Christian singer, Matt Maher. Matt, the songs give joy to my soul, my spirit feels alive, thank you! Never knew music like this existed. Let's pray for Matt, "God illuminate Matt Maher, use his voice to glorify you, his music touch the hearts of the people, and they too praise you. Amen."
"Si un día soy santa, ciertamente seré una de la oscuridad. Porque no me contentaré de vagar por las calles del cielo mientras haya una alma que aún no anhele a Dios”. (Madre Teresa)
It's inspired by the letters of St. Teresa of Calcutta when she wrote to her spiritual director detailing her agonizing "dark night of the soul" wherein God withdraws all consolations from a soul (positive emotions and inner peace) so that it can go through the final stages of earthly purification and love God for all that He is rather than the good things He gives us. At that point it as if God disappears but the truth is that He's never been closer to a soul. He is there quietly and in the "dark" while the love sick person is thirsting for Him and growing in virtue more than they ever have in their life. "Blessed are you who believe but do not see"
This song is awesome easily my favorite matt maher song of all time from the second i first heard it but what would you call this music style? I call it hillbilly biker grunge What do you think TH-cam?

I heard him perform this song awhile back in concert, and I fell in love with it. I am glad to see it now on TH-cam! Thanks Matt Maher for what you do

Dear Jesus where are you tonight
I bear a sadness deep inside
I’m aching for a faith in things I strain to feel
I need to know that you are real
Oh Savior open up my eyes
I wanna see You like a child
There is a haze on the horizons of my heart
Dear Jesus show me where you are
Be my firelight, be my firelight
Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight
How do I move on and be free
From all these things that I have seen
All of my memories are turning into scars
Oh my God put back what’s been torn apart
Be my firelight, be my firelight
Burning fierce and bright, be my firelight
If anyone remembers my name
If I’m ever known for anything
Let it be I ran into the night
Running with a firelight, firelight
Cause I don’t wanna stroll the streets of gold
While there’s still a soul to love
Let me run into the night
Running with a firelight, firelight
Burning with a firelight, firelight
L Rosa yes

Kelly Hulst I went to it later night at wahoo ne
Matt said this one was inspired by a Mormon that moved away. When we went to the concert it was ALL RED
When I saw him he said it was based on the letters of St Theresa of Calcutta- when she was going through the dark night of the soul.
It's inspired by the letters of St. Teresa of Calcutta when she wrote to her spiritual director detailing her agonizing "dark night of the soul" wherein God withdraws all consolations from a soul (positive emotions and inner peace) so that it can go through the final stages of earthly purification and love God for all that He is rather than the good things He gives us. At that point it as if God disappears but the truth is that He's never been closer to a soul. He is there quietly and in the "dark" while the love sick person is thirsting for Him and growing in virtue more than they ever have in their life. "Blessed are you who believe but do not see"
