Story Behind The Song
I was sitting in church listening to a wonderful old missionary from Red Mesa Navajo mission in Arizona - Eddy Hollet - and, bless his heart, he was boring. But I knew God had something for me from this boring speaker, so I was trying to take notes. He

Lyrics
A young man heard --
heard a voice speaking deep into his soul
Telling him to leave it all --
leave it all behind and go --
Go and tell the world
how his life was turned around.
Once lost now he was found
by the grace of God.
Friends and family,
they could not see
the sense of his decision
Why must he leave them behind
for this Jesus and his mission.
Why could he not stay?
Did he have to leave today?
And as he walked away ?
they could hear him say.
?I?ve got fire in my bones.
Fire in my bones.
I?m no longer my own.
I?ve got fire in my bones.
And with this fire in my bones
I can do nothing else
but give up myself --
And go."
She had come to hear the music ?
she knew the words to every song.
Suddenly she heard the Spirit
and inside she felt this longing ?
To go into the world ?
no matter what the cost.
She had to tell the lost
of the grace of God.
Her boyfriend
sat beside her as she rose to her feet.
He could not believe his eyes
when he saw her leave the seat.
Walking down the aisle
with tears washing her smile
He knew all the while
that she?d left him alone
For a future unknown.
She?s got fire in her bones.
Fire in her bones.
She?s no longer her own.
She?s got fire in her bones.
And with this fire in her bones
she can do nothing else
but give up herself ?
And go.
Bridge:
How many times
has He tugged at your heart
But you?re not sure you?re ready to go?
Don?t be afraid
for when he calls you to go
There is one thing for sure you can know ?
He?ll put his fire in your bones.
His fire in your bones.
You?re no longer your own.
You?ve got his fire in your bones.
And with his fire in your bones
you can do nothing else
But give up yourself ?
give up yourself ?
give up yourself --
and go.
