Jennifer Knapp- Refine Me

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

Place of worship

Sitting in the chapel
within my soul
watching beams of light
illuminate prismatic crystal walls
bursting into colour
like wild flowers greeting the spring
Here is enshrined God's beautiful truth
Peace and Reconciliation
with God with Self
with those who Love with those who Hate
even life's hard knocks
take on a rationality
breaking the outer facade
letting in the light
uncreated
