I
I SHALL NOT FORGET THE DAY,
WHEN I HEARD MY SAVIOUR SAY.
COME UNTO ME, MY CHILD, I'LL MAKE YOU WHOLE.
THEN I LET MY SAVIOR IN, THERE HE FORGAVE ME OF MY SINS.
STARTED A FIRE BURNING SO BRIGHT, WAY DOWN IN MY SOUL.
II
SINCE JESUS KINDLED THE FLAME,
THINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED NO I'M NOT THE SAME.
HE LIT THE FIRE WITH HIS GREAT ETERNAL LOVE.
DOWN IN MY SOUL NOW THERE'S PEACE JOY THAT WILL NEVER, NEVER CEASE.
THANK GOD FOR HOLY FIRE, FROM HEAVEN ABOVE.
CHORUS
IT'S NEVER GONE OUT ..., IT'S NEVER GONE OUT ...
THO SATAN HAS TRIED MANY TIMES TO MAKE ME DOUBT.
BUT WHEN I FEEL THAT WARMTH INSIDE,
I KNOW MY SOUL IS SATISFIED, THE FLAME HAS FLICKERED,
BUT THE FIRE HAS NEVER GONE OUT.
