Refined in These Fires

The dross burned away
made radiant
refined in these fires
the days of my trials
Walking with you
yoked to my Savior
not turning from you
guided by your love
Thanks in this journey
even the struggles
drawing closer ever to you
Refined in these fires
washing in your love
the spirit within me
on wings of the dove

coming through the flames

Tested, we come
coming through the flames
the trials of our lives
leaning on the Lord

Only in him
standing in the storm
led forever more
to your heavenly throne

Tested, Refined like Silver

Bound by your love
protected in our journey
we are tested, refined like silver
the fires of this life

Refined, the dross
burned away
we shine with his glory
coming through the flames

Refined in the Fire

Dipped precious metals
held in the flame, glowing hot
little imperfections, impurities
wisps of smoke, bleed away
pure essence remaining
after we are refined in fire
