about

Kindle is a mash up of Jesus' own calling from Isaiah 62 and the great prayer of the church "Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love" There is also a reference to Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" where the lion Aslan tells the children of an even deeper magic than that of the White Witch.

This deeper magic, this Isaianic Vision, this is what we proclaim and what we've been made for.

lyrics

holy spirit fill
the hearts of all people
with fire,
kindle this forest with fire

you’re an oak by an ancient spring
the deeper magic, it will ring
an oak in a forest of oaks, then
you’ll grow into what I have spoken

good news for the poor
roses where ashes were
hearts that find comfort
light out of darkness

freedom for chains
lighthearts for shame
this is what we proclaim
this is what we proclaim

be goodnews with the poor
plant roses were ashes were
hold hearts ‘til their comforted
un-frightened by darkness

build class-rooms not bars and chains
sow laughter for a change
this is what we proclaim...
this is what we've been made for
