He Will Set Your Fields on Fire Songtext
von Bill Monroe

There′s a call that rings for the one that sings to those now gone astray
Saying, "Come ye men with your load of sin there at the alter lay
You all seem to heed from the chain of greed your conscience never tire
Be assured my friend if you still offend he will set your fields on fire

If you don't from sin retire (if you don′t retire)
He will set your fields on fire (set your fields on fire)
You have heard (you have heard) Jesus' call (Jesus' call)
And in death your soul must fall (soon, your soul must fall)
Now my friends if you desire (if you desire)
You may join the heavenly choir (join the heavenly choir)
And rejoice with him free from every sin
When He sets this world on fire


You have heard his voice seen His soul rejoice
As trusted in his grace
You have blushed with sin as He knocked within
But still you hide your face
From the blessed Lord and His own true word
But still you say retire
Leave the downward path kindle not His wrath
Or He′ll set your fields on fire

If you don′t from sin retire (if you don't retire)
He will set your fields on fire (set your fields on fire)
You have heard (you have heard) Jesus′ call (Jesus' call)
And in death your soul must fall (soon, your soul must fall)
Now my friends if you desire (if you desire)
You may join the heavenly choir (join the heavenly choir)
And rejoice with him free from every sin
When He sets this world on fire

Won′t you take advice make the sacrifice completely turn from sin
Taking up that cross counting pleasure drops let Jesus live within
When temptations come you can face towards home
Your heart will never tire
But rejoice and pray in the last great day when He sets this world on fire


If you don't from sin retire (if you don′t retire)
He will set your fields on fire (set your fields on fire)
You have heard (you have heard) Jesus' call (Jesus' call)
And in death your soul must fall (soon, your soul must fall)
Now my friends if you desire (if you desire)
You may join the heavenly choir (join the heavenly choir)
And rejoice with him free from every sin
When He sets this world on fire
