Stir the Fire — Dirt Road Gospel Music
CallingComplacencyPurposeSurrender
Stir the Fire" traces a single, sustained image across its five sections: discovering an ember still glowing in ashes long assumed cold, circling a hearth without knowing what to pray for, asking God directly to breathe on those embers, remembering the specific hands and words that once prayed a gift into being, trusting that gift is still alive beneath years of smolder, naming that gift precisely in Paul's own words to Timothy — power, love, and a sound mind rather than fear — and closing with quiet confidence that God never let the ember die, even through every stage of the ashes gathering around it.
"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."
A song for the road you're on.

Stir the Fire Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] There's an ember in the ashes Of everything I used to burn for I've been circling this cold hearth Wondering what I even pray for [Chorus] Stir the fire — that's been sleeping in me Stir the fire — breathe upon these embers Stir the fire — You put Your gift inside me Stir the fire — till it burns like the first time again [Verse 2] I still feel the hands upon my head The words they prayed over my shoulders Whatever You lit in me that night Is still alive beneath the smolder [Chorus] Stir the fire — that's been sleeping in me Stir the fire — breathe upon these embers Stir the fire — You put Your gift inside me Stir the fire — till it burns like the first time again [Bridge] You did not give me a spirit of fear But of power, and of love, and a sound mind So I'll fan into flame what You placed in here And step out of the ashes one more time [Final Chorus] Stir the fire — that's been sleeping in me Stir the fire — breathe upon these embers Stir the fire — You put Your gift inside me Stir the fire — till it burns like the first time again [Outro] There's an ember in the ashes And You never let it die
