Refined by the Fire

Count it all joy when I walk through the flame

This trial ain’t strange it’s part of His name

Testing my faith building something deep

Making me strong in the pain I keep

Like gold in the fire He turns up the heat

Scraping away everything that’s weak

Until You see Your face in me

Until Your love is all they see

I won’t run I won’t hide

You’re right here by my side

Through the pressure through the pain

You are working in my name

I’m being refined by the fire

Burning away my desires

You're shaping me to look like the Son

Til the battle is fought and won

I’ll remain faithful I’ll stand

I’ll hold tight to Your hand

There’s a crown of life I will see

When You finish Your work in me

Don’t let me waste what You're trying to do

These trials are making me more like You

When everything's gone and I’m stripped bare

I'll find You’re the only one still there

Corrie Ten Boom said when You’re all I have

Then I’ll know You’re all I need to have

When suffering tries to steal my peace

Your glory is what I’ll see released

I’ll reframe how I see

You’re producing perseverance in me

Every scar every tear

Is bringing heaven near

I’m being refined by the fire

Burning away my desires

You're shaping me to look like the Son

Til the battle is fought and won

I’ll remain faithful I’ll stand

I’ll hold tight to Your hand

There’s a crown of life I will see

When You finish Your work in me

So let the flames rise higher

Let the trials come

I will trust the Refiner

'Til His work is done

I’m not forsaken

I’m being remade

In the hands of my Savior

I’m not afraid

Refined by the fire

Burning with holy desire

You're shaping me to look like the Son

‘Til Your glory in me is begun

I’ll remain faithful I’ll stand

Through the heat through the plan

There’s a crown of life I will see

When You finish Your work in me
