Jon Foreman alluded at his concert this past week that "we are the salt of the earth" before he sang "On Fire", thought I'd share the lyrics.

Tell you where you need to go
Tell you who you need to be
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you when you’ll need to leave

But everything inside you knows
Says more than what you’ve heard
So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you’re on fire
When he’s near you
You’re on fire
When he speaks
You’re on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you

Cause everything inside looks like
Everything I hate You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take

When I’m on fire
When you’re near me
I’m on fire
When you speak
And I’m on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I’m standing on the edge of me
I’m standing on the edge

And I’m on fire
When you’re near you
I’m on fire
When you speak
I’m on fire
Burning at these mysteries...

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

Ephesians 5:8

The LORD is good,

a refuge in times of trouble.

He cares for those who trust in HIM.

Nahum 1:7
