Story of "Light the Fire Again" recording:

This was the first project that the Langley Vineyard team, under my leadership, did in Anaheim California under the Vineyard Music USA label. On the night of Sunday October 24th 1993, we began with "Will you Worship" and "Light the Fire Again" came second. But for the CD, I am glad that Chris Wimber switched the song order around. There is something on those "open snare" hits that Gio played on the drums that really launched the experience that night. The executive producers were really unsure about keeping "Creation Calls" on the CD because it wasn't a "congregational" worship song. Being in creation has always moved me to worship, so I was very happy when they decided to keep it (though I do wish we would have had a bit more time and money to fix a few of the glaring mistakes on the song!!). We were in Anaheim for the weekend.

I wrote the song "Light the Fire Again" first of all for the denomination I was raised in, the Mennonite Brethren and for a specific event in Kitchener Ontario in the spring of 93. The history of the Mennonite Brethren is very interesting; they experienced a powerful renewal in the late 1800's in Russia (all my grandparents were born there), but it eventually ended due to drifting into heresy and being "shut down." I did the song that weekend in Kitchener, and then thought, "I may never do that song again"...guess I was wrong about that!!
