02 Nov 98 - 07:23 AM (#43875) Subject: Lyrics to From: Gary There are words to the music of Chariots of Fire sung as a Christian hymn. We've sung them in the past and would like to find them again. Goes something like: Come ride in my life, Lord Jesus Christ, My Lord and my Master Come ride in my life, Lord Jesus Christ, And make me a chariot of fire. |

Bring me my bow of burning gold If this is the one, there was a thread on it some time ago. |

03 Nov 98 - 01:22 AM (#43979) Subject: Lyr Add: MAKE ME A CHARIOT OF FIRE From: Craig Gary, The title of the song is MAKE ME A CHARIOT OF FIRE. I can't tell you who wrote the words, but here they are: I rise up to worship, I stand to acclaim, The King of all glory, Christ Jesus his name. I ask you King Jesus, fulfill this desire, Ignite me and make me a chariot of fire. Come ride on my life, Lord Jesus Christ My King and my Master, come ride on my life, To this one goal I wholly aspire. Come rule in my heart, Lord Jesus Christ My King and my master, come ride on my life, And I will be a chariot of fire. Craig |

I rise up to worship, I stand to acclaim,
I've fought the good fight. I've run the race. Amen!!! |

We tread in their footsteps, where prophets have trod; we come to the mountain, the presence of God. The bush that was burning with fire all around; we stand there with Moses, on holy ground. O give me the eyes and ears of faith, to answer Your call! O give me a heart on fire with love to give You my all. 2. The mountain of meeting, of covenant law, created a people of worship and awe. Delivered from bondage, the blood was their sign; they sang of redemption; we stand in their line. O give me…. 3. The glory of Jesus, majestic to see; Up high on a mountain, transfigured was he. Elijah and Moses appeared from the past, predicting salvation accomplished at last. O give me... 4. We come to Mount Zion, of suffering love; The church of the firstborn, redeemed from above. The Cross is our glory, its value unpriced; a love ever-burning in Jesus the Christ. O give me… Richard Bewes, copyright Jubilate Hymns 1998 Optional tune: 'Chariots of Fire' as used by permission on BBC Songs of Praise, All Souls Church, January 2001 |

It rolled off the table, And on to the floor, And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door. It rolled in the ga-a-a-arden, And under a bu-ush, And then my poor mea-ea-eatball, Was nothing but mush. So if you eat spaghetti, All covered with cheese, Hold on to your meatball, Whenever you sneeze. |

Randy wrote these words the morning after his first viewing of the movie CHARIOTS OF FIRE: - To live for My Father, rejoice in His will, To live for My Father, His pleasure fulfill. To work for My Father, committing my hands; To go where He leads me, to far away lands. Each day brings new opportunities to grow in His love: Becoming the one I am to be - like Jesus above. And when I am tested, brought to trial by earthly cause: Steadfastly I stand, no compromise, and live by His laws. To run for My Father: His chosen desire, My feet rush to praise Him in His Spirit`s power. To live for My Father, rejoice in His will, To live for My Father, His pleasure fulfill. *** *** *** *** |

However, does anyone have the full version where the first verse starts with "I rise up to worship, I stand to acclaim". I think there are about 4 verses with chorus after each verse. Would be great to get the words. Thanks. |

01 Jun 15 - 12:13 PM (#3713662) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Chariots of Fire' - a Christian song From: GUEST,# The following is from http://www.namethathymn.com/hymn-lyrics-detective-forum/index.php?a=vtopic&t=5242 "Here are the lyrics to a song called "Make me a chariot of fire" that I found on a couple sites. I rise to worship, I stand to acclaim; the King of all glory, Christ Jesus His Name. I ask you, Lord Jesus, fulfull this desire; Ignite me and make me a chariot of fire. Come ride on my life, Lord Jesus Christ; My King and my master, come ride on my life To this one goal I wholly aspire Come rule in my heart, Lord Jesus Christ; My King and my master, come ride on my life And I will be a chariot of fire. The music, of course, was composed by Vangelis for the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire". Based on the wording and the lack of many sources about this hymn, I'd guess these are probably lyrics that were "home-grown", and then spread around to different churches and worship groups. God bless! Steve" |

Back in 1982 (when I was in middle school) I attended a youth retreat called "Sought Out." When we sang that song with its inspirational and uplifting keyboard tones, I thought I'd discovered the holy grail! Whenever I would hear the song, I thought I had a leg up on my fellow classmates in public school. The version I learned is in pieces in the above thread. .. Give glory to God, church Give glory to God, Give glory to God, church Give glory to God, Give praise to the Father, Give praise to the Son, Give praise to the spirit, The great three-in-one Blah blah blah... chariot of fire |

Vangelis' defence was that he had already used the key musical sequence when he was with Aphrodite's Child. Vangelis of course did take music from an existing hymn, namely Jerusalem, for that movie, but that was a different piece of music. |

He refused to run on a Sunday in his best event, the 100metres, in the Paris Olympics of 1924. And here in Edinburgh,we have the "Eric Liddell Centre" housed in a de-consecrated church on a road junction known as "Holy Corner" as there are (were) churches on each of the 4 corners of the junction! |
