Our lives, our all, this very day;
To crown the off’ring now we pray,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire!

One of the challenges I encountered as a beginner saxophonist was getting correct solfa notation of gospel songs that I love. I am therefore posting lyrics and solfa notations for songs that I enjoy playing on the saxophone.
It is also my contribution to assist beginners and lovers of gospel music.
