Holy Ghost fire burns the temptations within me.

 Holy Ghost Fire, Burn the Temptations Within Me

Holy Ghost fire, burn the temptations within me—not to destroy, but to refine,

Not to leave me ashes, but to let Your holiness shine.

The enemy whispers, the flesh entices, the world sets its snare—

But You are a consuming fire; answer every evil prayer.

Our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29)

Burn the temptation that masquerades as harmless pleasure,

The thought that lingers, the image that becomes a hidden treasure.

Burn the desire that wars against my soul,

The craving that promises fullness but leaves a gaping hole.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me—the battles I have fought

In secret, in the shadows, where no human eye can see.

Let Your fire fall, and let every hidden thing be set free.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24)

Let the fire of the Holy Ghost consume the seeds of sin,

Before they take root, before they grow, before they draw me in.

Not by my willpower, not by my striving, but by Your Spirit's flame—

Burn the temptation, Lord. Purge me. Cleanse me. In Your holy name.

I bring my weakness to the altar—the pull I cannot resist,

The pattern I repeat, the lie I still persist

In believing, in entertaining, in giving a second thought.

Holy Ghost fire, burn it. Leave nothing that should not be sought.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)

So I surrender the battlefield of my mind and my heart.

Let Your fire be the guardian, the consuming, healing art.

Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirit, Lord—

Burn the temptations within me. Let Your victory be restored.

Amen.
