Here are the lyrics to a song called "Make me a chariot of fire" that I found on a couple sites.
I rise to worship, I stand to acclaim;
the King of all glory, Christ Jesus His Name.
I ask you, Lord Jesus, fulfull this desire;
Ignite me and make me a chariot of fire.
Come ride on my life, Lord Jesus Christ;
My King and my master, come ride on my life
To this one goal I wholly aspire
Come rule in my heart, Lord Jesus Christ;
My King and my master, come ride on my life
And I will be a chariot of fire.
The music, of course, was composed by Vangelis for the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire". Based on the wording and the lack of many sources about this hymn, I'd guess these are probably lyrics that were "home-grown", and then spread around to different churches and worship groups.
God bless!
