BEHIND THE SCENES

INSPIRE THE FIRE
by Kristian Cornita


I remember way back in the year 2005 I attended a youth camp of Norwegian Mission Aliance(NMA) in Puerto Galera,Philippines. Everyday we spent our time in fellowship.. meeting new friends,encountering GOD through praise and worship and passionate preaching. We were on the top of the mountains facing the vast and wide ocean of Puerto Galera. For me it's a very nice place to meet God there because you will feel the creativeness of God and His passion to change you in His likeness.

In our third night each group must present a talent presentation and I was assign as the leader of the group to direct the drama. The drama portray about the people and youth who are engage in drug addiction,alcohol and some bad things that can lead them into there destruction. I was thinking to catch the attention of the audience by choosing and focusing on that scenario.I was amazed seeing people crying in every scene in our drama. I really thank God cause He opened the heart of the Youth who joined the camp. After our awesome presentation I saw our audience crying because they can relate on what we are portraying in the drama. For me it was an awesome night of bringing people to the feet of JESUS.

After that night I start writing song. And I was able to relate my self in that situation. I prayed to God to used my skill while Im writing this song. In the first stanza of the song It talks about the reality we see in our surroundings without God. All we can see is sadness even if we close our eyes there is anger that enter inside our ears. Sometimes we are blinded by the sadness and anger. Sometimes we are tired of hearing bad things again and again. We do our best but still it ends up into failure. That feeling leads me to write this stanza. Here is the first stanza of "INSPIRE THE FIRE"

I.
Everytime I open my eyes
All I can see is sadness
Everytime I close my eyes
All I can hear is anger


After creating that words I began writing the Pre Chorus. In the Pre Chorus my heart is telling me something to write words of hope and perseverance. Words that no matter what happen I will climb the mountains of sadness,anger,financial,broken relationship and others that hinder our way towards GOD. For me I want something that will make us different as a child of GOD. Making a difference to see the world at the top of the mountains. Seeing the beautiful plans of the Lord waiting on us at the tip of that mountain. Here is the Pre-Chorus of "INSPIRE THE FIRE"

Pre-Chorus:
But I will climb this mountain to stop the pain
And I will see the beauty of the world
Cause I know You are there in my heart


Im now in the chorus. Im having a hard time thinking what will be the right words that can support the first stanza and pre-chorus. I want something that continues flow of worshiping. And Im end up with the words of Inspire the fire. Its all about seeking God's Fire to enter in our hearts eventhough sometimes its hard to understand His ways. Worshiping Him to Inspire us inspite of sadness. Because Worshiping & desiring for His fire in times of difficulties it can lead us to greater faith,passion and leadership. this song Inspire the fire talks about not only me or my fire but Im also concern about the fire of all my friends to continue to burn for GOD. Im praying to GOD to Inspire them also. Here is the Chorus of "INSPRE THE FIRE"


Chorus:
Inspire the fire of my heart Lord
Inspire the fire that losing
Inspire the fire of all my friends tha are crying
