The courts were silent, the gates shut tight
Beneath the hush of winter's night
I let the dust lie on the floor
And turned the key on the inner door
But then a knocking, soft and clear
Heaven's heartbeat, drawing near
He's not seeking walls of stone
He's come to claim what is His own
So I'll sweep the ash, I'll clear the flame
I'm making space to lift Your name

I rededicate the altar of my heart
Come and strike a flame, come and set apart
Every broken piece, every shadowed part
To be a dwelling for Your glory
Let the fire burn, let the incense rise
Pure and holy in Your watching eyes
This is my surrender, this is where it starts
The rededication of my heart

Beyond the veil where silence breathes
I lay down what the world believes
No borrowed oil, no dimming flame
Can touch the power of Your Name

So cleanse these hands and make them new
Keep the lampstand burning true
Not by power, not by might
But by the Ruach that brings the light

Let the light break through the darkness
Let the oil never run dry
Let the flame You lit within me
Be a beacon in the night
Let the light break through the darkness
Let the oil never run dry
Let the flame You lit within me
Shine forever, burning high

oh, oh, ...

I consecrate the altar of my soul
Come and take control, come and make it whole
Every wound I bear, every secret known
Now belongs to You alone

Let the fire burn, let the incense rise
Pure and holy in Your watching eyes
This is my surrender, this is where it starts
The rededication of my heart

The temple is yours Adonai
Eternal flame, continual light
All for the glory of Your holy Name
Seal this vow in sacred fire
It's Yours Adonai
The temple is Yours
The glory is Yours

You light the flame
Adonai You remain
It's Yours.. It's Yours.. Adonai, it's Yours
So here I stay, beneath Your flame
Forever changed, forever claimed
