THE FIRE IS GONE
aka THE DEATH OF DISCERNMENT
(EXCERPT)
Text and Music by James Sundquist, ©1988 ROCK SALT MUSIC, BMI

This short reflection is based on the free fall of the church into apostasy.  It is a lamentation, like Jeremiah’s.  It captures one of the strongest sobering warnings and questions that Jesus Christ posed, and that is: “When I return, will I find the faith on the earth?”



The fire is gone

The fuel is spent

The hour is here

And we still have no fear

There is no one left who will repent

They still reject the one He sent

There is a disease throughout the land

They say it is the worst there has ever been

It kills through the blood an eternal death
