From The Best Of The Second Trilogy but fading out about a second earlier

lyrics

​Ow
​
When I was a little boy
In a all black neighbourhood
Well it was rough and tumble in a concrete jungle
Hard to do the things you should
But I walked the straight and narrow
I kept looking higher
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)

And when I was a young man
Temptation was all around
And when the darkness finds you
It slips up behind you
Tries to knock you to the ground
But I just kept on going
I was so inspired
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)

One day a light from above shone down on my face (Ooh ooh)
And lifted me up to a heavenly place (Ooh ooh)
I heard voices of angels on a distant shore (Ooh ooh)
And Jesus healed me (Ooh ooh)
And brought me back to life once more (Ooh)

Now I am a grown man
With a vision locked inside my heart
And I speak to men of their pride and sin
And the need to be set apart
And I can run like a lion
I do not tire
Because Jesus
He sets my soul on fire (fire)

Soul, soul on fire [x2]

Soul on fire [x3]

Soul on fire (Soul on fire) [x5]
Soul on fire

(Soul on fire) I can run like a lion
(Soul on fire) And I do not tire
(Soul on fire) Jesus set my soul on fire (Soul on fire)

Soul on fire [x4]
​
Ah ah-ah ah ah
Ah ah-ah ah ah ah [x3]

Ah ah ah ah uh-oh
Ah ah-ah ah uh-oh- oh

Ah ach tah ah
Ah ach tah ah uh uh oh oh
