[Verse 1]

Ayo, I love to pull up to a job and jump out the truck

Fire showing, time to go to work, that's what's up

Nah, I don't got a death wish, this is how I live

But there's nothing that I'd rather do and that's just what it is

Everybody do they part, this is how I'm doing mine

Yeah, I understand I put my life on the line

But to live is Christ and to die is gain

Though if He's not your Messiah, we are not the same, bro

I could be a line-of-duty death, that's undeniable

Yeah, my body's vulnerable, but my soul is fireproof

I'm sort of like Iron Man, he's the master blacksmith

I got a new heart from a God who's a craftsman

I'm His iron, fire just makes me pliable

Just a living stone getting thrown by His catapult

Grinding as the clock ticks and when it's time to go

I ain't packing for this trip 'cause Earth isn't my home, let's go


[Verse 2]

Any given day I step out with the uniform on

Ain't no guarantees that I'm ever gon' come home

That's the kind of thoughts that I'm pushing to the side

As I'm walking out of the crib and I jump into the ride

The truth is on a daily basis I take it for granted

Lord, help me to redeem these days I'm given on this planet

I wanna be a motivated, dedicated fireman

My crew can rely on as I know I can rely on 'em

Help my life show I know You let my acts commend you

I'm rough around the edges, not the best to represent You

I let folly and a lack of self-control get the best of me

Running 'round like a young soul, steady gesturing

I may not be the best example of a faithful witness

But I'm praying for the day they partake in Your forgiveness

'Cause none can stand a chance before the all-consuming fire

So I pray for saving grace before the day-to-day expires, please


[Verse 3]

You tugging on my heart, Lord, tryna pull me closer

Help me to respond the way I know that I'm supposed to

I don't wanna be up in these trenches going through the motions

Help my cup to overflow until it's soaking up the coaster

I got a hope in living with the world that I know of

Help me labor in the faith and build, sort of like I'm Noah

Come and jump into this ark with me, 'cause them drops dripping

And every day that's passing by, that's that clock ticking

Six million ways to go, I seen my fair share

Of bodies separated from they soul but I'm still here

Tryna make the most of moments with my friends and family

Yet focusing my hope on when the Lord redeems humanity

Those the kind of thoughts that we be pushing to the side

But the Christian looks to Him who's risen, Jesus is alive

And since He saved me from eternal fire, He's the one I boast in

Draw me nearer to You, Father, 'cause this body's getting closer, for sure
