SET FIRE ON MY SOUL by Jude Nnam — Lyrics
About SET FIRE ON MY SOUL
"Set Fire On My Soul" is an energetic and deeply rhythmic invocation to the Holy Spirit, composed by Jude Nnam. Marked *Allegro con brio* on the score, the piece immediately bursts into life with an urgent, joyful plea for the Spirit's presence. The choir sings of a burning, transformative fire within, capturing the dynamic and life-changing power of the first Pentecost. The interplay between the voice parts in the refrain creates a sense of a spreading flame, with the sopranos soaring above the driving accompaniment.
In the choir loft, this piece is a natural choice for Pentecost Sunday, Confirmations, and charismatic prayer gatherings. The verses build a beautiful progression of petition—asking the "Spirit of God," the "Breath of God," and the "Spiritus Sancto" to fill the faithful with love, faith, and hope. Its lively tempo and spirited rhythm make it an uplifting choral song that easily stirs the congregation, inviting everyone to experience the warmth and zeal of the Holy Spirit in their own lives.
