Stop, Drop, and Roll

There’s a fire that burns

In a man that ever yearns

T’will consume the very heart

And tear the soul apart

Until a wiser man yields and learns

Its not on some mountaintop

But down here in the slop

Where I lose all my defenses

And I come to my senses

Then my service to the devil it will stop.

As I stop drop and roll

This burning in my soul

Will become a fiery flame

As I name His glorious name

As I stop drop and roll

It’s not in some mystic dream

God’s reality is seen

But in simple profound stuff

That for most won’t be enough

There we learn what faith can really mean

Bridge

I will stop my excuses and apologies

I will drop, I will drop down to my knees

I will roll I will roll I will roll

Roll with the thunder in my soul

As I stop drop and roll

God’s word will make me whole

And the unseen I will see

The story of reality.

As I stop drop and roll

As I stop drop and roll
