Steven Curtis Chapman

F  Fsus  C7sus  F  Fsus C7sus
                 Bb/F                       F      Bb/F
I can still feel the prayers you prayed for me all those years
          C7                                             F         Bb/F
And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made
          F          Bb/F              F                     Bb/F
And I can still hear your words spoken from a heart of great concern
       C7sus                                          F-Bb/F   F
Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love Him more than anything
                          Cm/F              Bb/F
And I've watched the wind blow hard against you
                             Am7             Bb
And I've seen your faith get weakened by the pain
                  Gm                     F/A          Bb/C    C7sus
And I want you to know that I will be praying for you to hold on

CHORUS
F                  C7sus
Don't let the fire die
                                 C7sus
The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried
          Dm                         Am           Bb
But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes
   F                          C7sus              F    C7sus  F  C7sus
So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die

           F                Bb/F
This heavy weight you carry around
           F                      Bb/F
Of letting yourself and everybody down
           C7sus                             F
Is pouring water on the passion that used to burn so bright
                            Cm/F              Bb/F
Well I know you've got your reasons for resentment
                          Am         Bb
And I know it's more than I can understand
               Gm7                       F/A
So just let me say that I'm gonna be praying for you
C7sus
To let it all go

Don't let the fire   die

The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried

But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes

And I'm not praying for the fire to burn the way it did before
Fsus       Dm7                            Am7
?Cause I believe the one who started this flame in your heart
   Gm7               C7sus
He wants to give you more

So don't let the fire die
