Refine Me

This season of our lives - work, homeschool, back to school, fostering, tball, Lego team, church, friends, life.  This baby and her drug-addicted mother.  The not knowing what the next day holds for our family.  It's all a refining fire that demands I cling humbly to the feet of my Father to hold it together. This one is an oldie-but-goodie that I have treasured since college. 

Refine Me by Jennifer Knapp

I come into this place
Burning to receive Your peace
I come with my own chains
From wars I've fought for my own selfish gain

You're my God and my Father
I've accepted Your Son
But my soul feels so empty now
What have I become?

Lord, come with Your fire
Burn my desires
Refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Refine me

My heart can't see
When I only look at me
My soul can't hear
When I only think of my own fears

They are gone in a moment
You're forever the same
Why did I look away from You
How can I speak Your name?

Lord, come with Your fire
Burn my desires
Refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Come rescue this child
For I long to be reconciled to You

It's all I can do
To give my heart and soul to You
And pray
And pray, oh I will pray

Lord, come with Your fire
Burn my desires
Refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Come rescue this child
For I long to be reconciled to You

Refine me
Refine me
Refine me
Refine me
