[Music falls away; intimate piano and deep male voice] Wait on Him... Not on the strength you think you have. Not on the faith you manufacture. Not on the goodness you pretend to possess. Wait on Him. For what good is finding treasure If you never know its worth? What good is all your striving If you cannot give new birth? Can you make yourself love goodness? Can you make your heart sincere? Can you summon faith by trying When the truth is nowhere near? [A second voice enters softly, like an answer] Ask, and seek, and knock upon the door. Don't pretend you have no need. Turn toward the One who is good, And wait for Him to lead. [Lead vocal — building with conviction] I cannot make Him speak to me. I cannot make His promise mine. But I can turn toward truth and seek Him, And wait upon His time. The treasure is not self-achievement. The treasure is not earthly gain. The treasure is to know the Father— And to be changed by love's own reign. [Breakdown — Handclaps, bass, spoken-word call and response] LEAD: What are you searching for? CHOIR: Something real! LEAD: What do you need? CHOIR: A heart that feels! LEAD: Can you make the fire? CHOIR: No, not alone! LEAD: Who gives the treasure? CHOIR: The Lord makes Himself known! LEAD: Then what happens when His love gets in? CHOIR: It changes the heart from deep within! LEAD: And what happens when that love runs over? CHOIR: The fire spreads from soul to soul! [Final Chorus — Maximum energy, gospel choir, electric guitars] INFECTIOUS FIRE! Set the whole world alight! Let the truth shine out into the night! Not the fire of pride, not the fire of fame, But the love that glorifies His name! HIDDEN TREASURE! Greater than gold! The love of God is worth more than the world! I didn't make the promise, I didn't light the fire— He gave me what I needed, and He changed my heart's desire! Let it burn! Let it shine! Let His love overflow in mine! Not my glory! Not my power! His love is the fire in this hour! [Outro — Band stops; one voice remains] The world says, "Make yourself great." But I was searching for something I could never make myself. I found my need. I sought the truth. I waited on Him. And the treasure... Was knowing Him. [Softly, almost whispered] Let His love become Your infectious fire.
