Story behind the song
“Set Us Ablaze” will finally be available for download and listening pleasure in only a matter of days. Though the time seems relatively close, it also feels dauntingly distant. There have been many long lonesome nights when I have sat and wondered what this dream was for, if it would reach anyone, and why it would never dissipate. From the flute classes in middle school to the heavy hardcore-screaming seven-string-guitar-playing days of metal in Las Vegas, music has been a great escape, a true friend, and an unrelenting “mystery which binds me still."
There have been many precious people along the way that have helped shape, mold, and influence my character as well as my musical understanding and love for creating - teachers, long time friends, and family, to whom I am eternally grateful for the passion they have passed on to me by doing what they love most. Without you I would be nothing. At times we do not realize how much one of our lives can really reach out and touch another and my hope is that “Set Us Ablaze” will do that very thing…
Creating this CD has been a great adventure. I have had the privilege of collaborating with some very talented and hard-working people that adopted the vision and saw the reason behind it all. From early mornings to late, late nights, from somber moments to hysterical laughter almost on the verge of delirium, this process has birthed great memories, lasting friendships and learning experiences that I will never forget.
As I reflect on the seasons of my soul, I am overwhelmed by gratitude and awe realizing that God has been shaping me for “such a time as this." I am continually humbled as I am reminded of where I have come from. What God brings us into is always greater then what He has brought us out of. I hope that when you hear these songs you, too, will be reminded of how God has been there for you, what He has done for you, and how much He loves you (whether you knew it or not).

Set Us Ablaze
Music & Lyrics by Ed Fuchs
Come meet us in this place
We long for Your embrace
Come meet us in this place
We long for Your embrace
Come wash us whiter than snow…
Come mend our broken hearts whole…
Our hearts are the place
Holy Spirit You are the flame
Our hearts are the place
Spirit of God come set us ablaze
Come meet us in this place
We long for Your embrace
Come wash us whiter than snow…
Come mend our broken hearts whole…
Our hearts are the place
Spirit of God come set us ablaze
Heal our hearts,
Make us new,
Spirit of God,
We worship you.
Heal our hearts,
Make us new,
Lord of all creation,
We bow down to you.
