The Fire He Came To Cast

This powerful new hymn draws its inspiration from one of the most challenging and prophetic passages in the Gospels: Luke 12:49–53. Jesus speaks not of peace, but of fire—division, truth, and the high cost of discipleship. Set to a haunting, cinematic melody that never fully resolves until the very end, the piece reflects the tension and transformative power of Christ’s words.

This strophic hymn offers a journey—spiritually and musically—that unfolds verse by verse, chorus by chorus, until it reaches its final, unexpected cadence.

Use this piece in:
• Communion reflection
• Holy Week services
• Scriptural meditations
• Concert or worship settings that confront the cost of following Christ
