Fire Shut Up In My Bones Lyrics & Chords

By Perry Stone

Verse 1

(C)Jerusalem was a shaking, Pentecost had arrived, 

An (F) upper room party, And they were drunk on the new wine, 

Jesus stood (C)among them, And they knew there was no (F)doubt, 

This (C)Holy Ghost (F)fire will make you (C)dance and shout. 



Chorus

(C)It's just like fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's the (F)Holy Ghost fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's just like (C)fire, and it's shut up in my (F)bones. 

It's the Holy Ghost (C)fire, and it's shut up in my bones. (F)



Verse 2

From his mother's belly, Born to prophesy. 

The prophet Jeremiah, Would lift his voice and cry. 

Be quiet folks commanded, Shut up leave us alone. 

How can you be quiet, When there's fire down in your bones. 



Chorus

It's just like fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's the Holy Ghost fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's just like fire, and it's shut up in my bones. 

It's the Holy Ghost fire, and it's shut up in my bones. 



Verse 3

Into an open sepulcher, Upon Elizah's bones, 

The dead man resurrected, And he ran back to his home, 

When he tells the folks the story, You could hear him say, 

I found that Holy power, In a dead man's grave.



Chorus

It's just like fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's the Holy Ghost fire, shut up in my bones. 

It's just like fire, and it's shut up in my bones. 

It's the Holy Ghost fire, and it's shut up in my bones. 



Verse 4

Some people get offended, Because I leap and shout, 

They say to much emotion, And to much moving about, 

Don't tell me to be silent, Or sit down in my pew, 

Cause if you felt what I felt, I know you'd be shouting too.
