Song Lyrics: The lyrics to this song are based on some of the writings of St John of the Cross O living flame of love, that tenderly wounds my soul. Burn through the veil of earth and heaven, till I am one with you. O Let me blaze with fire, let spirit fill each part. Come light the caverns of my soul, illuminate my night. May my life burn bright, with a holy light. May my soul burn like a candle. How gentle and how sweet, you wake within my heart. And breathe in me the breath of life, and fill my soul with love. May my life burn bright, with a holy light. May my soul burn like a candle. O Living flame of love, that tenderly wounds my soul. Burn through the veil of earth and heaven, till I am one with you.
