[Spoken Intro] They turned the heat up seven times hotter. Seven times. Like once wasn’t enough. Then somebody looked through the fire and saw four men walking. Not three. Four. Who’s the fourth? Who’s always the fourth? [Hook] Came through the fire, not around it Came through the flood, not above it Everything hell sent to drown me Became the altar where I found Him Fire baptized Fire baptized I don’t look like what I survived I came out fire baptized Fire baptized Fire baptized You don’t come out the same When you come out fire baptized [Verse 1] The furnace wasn’t optional, it was assigned God had a reason for the heat in my life I kept asking Him to cool it down But the fire wasn’t killing me It was burning what was killing me They tied my hands before they threw me in But the ropes were the first thing burning off my skin The heat touched the fear The shame and the chains But it couldn’t touch the promise with my name Left the gold Left the calling Left the man God said I was And the enemy thought the furnace was the end But Heaven used the fire to show me love [Pre-Chorus] He didn’t watch from the outside He walked in with me Every degree they turned it up He used it to make me free [Hook] Came through the fire, not around it Came through the flood, not above it Everything hell sent to drown me Became the altar where I found Him Fire baptized Fire baptized I don’t look like what I survived I came out fire baptized [Verse 2] I’ve been in rooms where I smiled while breaking Prayers on my lips, but my hands still shaking Told everybody I was fine with the weight But I was one more night from losing faith Then in the place where every mask fell I saw the fourth man standing in my hell Not waiting on worship Not arriving when I prayed He was already in the fire Before I felt afraid Before the binding Before the flame Before the enemy called my name The fourth man was already standing there And He knew I’d walk out changed [Hook] Came through the fire, not around it Came through the flood, not above it Everything hell sent to drown me Became the altar where I found Him Fire baptized Fire baptized I don’t look like what I survived I came out fire baptized [Bridge / Breakdown] THE FIRE DIDN’T TAKE ME THE FIRE MADE ME WHAT HELL DESIGNED FOR DEATH BECAME THE PLACE THAT SAVED ME THEY SMELLED NO SMOKE NOT A HAIR SINGED NOT A THING BURNED EXCEPT THE ROPES EXCEPT THE ROPES EXCEPT THE ROPES THE ONLY THING THE FIRE TOUCHED WAS EVERYTHING THAT HAD A HOLD I WALKED OUT FREE BUT THE FIRE WAS REAL I FELT THAT HEAT I KNOW HOW FURNACES FEEL THE FOURTH MAN STOOD THERE IN THE MIDDLE WITH ME AND WHAT WAS SENT TO KILL ME BECAME MY TESTIMONY [Final Hook] Came through the fire, not around it Came through the flood, not above it Everything hell sent to drown me Became the altar where I found Him Fire baptized Fire baptized I don’t look like what I survived I came out fire baptized Fire baptized Fire baptized You don’t come out the same When you come out fire baptized [Outro] I’m not afraid of furnaces anymore.
