Refiner in the Fire

[low vocal register

Spoken]

In the fire

You are here

Hands shaking

Bible on the floor

Heart racing like a distant war

I’ve been counting all my failures

Till Your words cut through the noise

“I will never leave you”

That sentence splits the night

Chains rattle on the concrete

When Your truth collides with my lies

You are the refiner in the fire

Burning every shadow from my soul

I am not consumed

I’m coming out brighter

Faith in the flames

You’re in control

You are the refiner in the fire

Scars tracing every doubt I’ve known

Still You carve Your promise in my bones

“I have called you by your name now

You are Mine

You’re not alone”

When the smoke is rising

I hear a quiet call

“Though you walk through raging waters

I am with you through it all”

Though I walk

Through the valley

Of the shadow

I will fear no evil

For You are with me

Your rod and Your staff

They comfort me

They comfort me

[guitar chugs

Drums build]

I lay my idols in the flame (take it all)

I trade my fear for holy praise (lift it up)

You turn my ashes into praise (rise again)

You write Your mercy on my face
