The Fire Is Contagious

No clue what made me write this song, but it just came to me today.  :)

"The Fire Is Contagious"

She steps out and gazes all around her...
What can she see but endless fire
Consuming the one she loves?
She wants to help him through the fire,
But there's nothing she can do but cry there, lie there,
Inhaling deadly smoke.

And the fire is contagious,
Spreading fast; she's courageous,
But her courage is running thin.

She wants to hold him close forever,
Always imagined them together,
But now she's not so sure.
He's slipping, God, she can feel him slipping,
Once full of life, now barely living.
She says, "God, I need You now."

For the fire is contagious,
Spreading fast; she's courageous,
But her courage is running thin.

"I'll never leave you; of this you can be sure,
Even if he leaves this earth or just walks out the door.
Don't you know you can place all hope in Me?
Cast all your cares and then be set free.
He's hurting now and his hurt hurts you...
Don't you know your hurt hurts Me too?

Oh, the fire is contagious,
Spreading fast; I'll make you courageous!
Oh, the fire is contagious,
Spreading fast; I'll make you courageous!"

She steps out, covered in living water,
Not consumed by the fire.
