When the Fire Fades

“When the Fire Fades” is a spoken poem about the quiet seasons of faith — the times when passion turns to silence, and God seems distant.It’s about learning that faith isn’t just a feeling, but a deeper flame that keeps burning, even when emotions fade.Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack#FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #SpiritualGrowth #SeasonsOfFaith #TrustGod📜 Lyrics:When I first came alive in God,the scripture lit up like stars.Every verse had a voice,every word felt like it was written just for me.I saw things — not with my eyes, but with my spirit.I felt love rise up in me,for people I couldn’t even explain.I thought, “This is it. This is what it means to know God.”But then… the fire faded.The silence came.And I kept searching for what I once had —praying, weeping, waiting.I felt like I lost Him,or maybe… I lost myself.But now I’m starting to see.Maybe I was never lost.Maybe He was teaching me to walk by trust, not just feeling.Maybe the fire was the beginning,but now He’s building a deeper flame —something that doesn’t burn out,something that stays… even in silence.So I won’t give up.I won’t run.Because this journey isn’t about chasing the moments —it’s about becoming like Him.And if I keep walking, even slowly,I will find that the fire never left.It just moved… deeper.
