The burning heart refers is to John Wesley’s testament about the burning heart being what drives us toward holy living and sanctification. When I searched the Internet I found that the band known as Survivor wrote the theme song for Rocky IV back in 1985 and called it the Burning Heart. Although the majority of the Lyrics are more in line with the combative aspects of the Rocky Films the refrain reads as follows:
In the burning heart - just about to burst,
There’s a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst,
In the darkest night - rising like a spire,
In the burning heart - the unmistakable fire.*
I don’t claim to have the answers to life’s questions, I simply invite you to accompany me on the quest and we can drink from the fountain of scripture together.
Rev. Dr. Amanda Burr
