The phrase “another in the fire” actually alludes to, is the Biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego found in the Old Testament book of Daniel. Even if it feels like there’s a lack of resolution and what you’re in the midst of doesn’t make sense and you don’t know where you’re headed, the X factor in all of that is actually that you’re not alone.
Regardless of what circumstances you face or you’re going to face, remember you’ve never been alone, you never are alone, and you never will be alone. The in-between is okay, it doesn’t affect true things being true, they’re still true. It’s sometimes a truth that they’re here and its not yours just yet, or its a truth that’s here and yet to come, and that’s okay. The key to this song is that you’re never alone.
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I’ve been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won’t bow to the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me
There is another in the fire, whoa
There is another in the fire, whoa
There is another in the fire, oh
I can see
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us
He who was and still is, and will be through it all
So come what may in the space between
All the things unseen and this reckoning
And I know I will never be alone
And I know I will never be alone
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
I can see the light
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be,
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
