A spirit of love
Fanned into flame;
Love will prevail more than any word
In power proclaimed.

Things that we do,
Words that we say,
When in a spirit of love, how love
Prevails in this way.

The spirit in man,
Where our God lives;
Greatest of gifts we could e’er receive,
Freely He gives.

By His great love,
God is so known;
Only a spirit of love in man
Makes His love shown.

If my own desires
Quench the Spirit within,
Remind me to fan it again.

Remind me to fan it again.

Powerful will,
Sober in mind;
Yet without love only threatening words
Other souls find.

For this we yearn;
Oh may a spirit that’s fanned into flame
Increasingly burn.
