cause i'm not who i was when i took my first step
and i'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me close to you
then i will go through the fire if you want me to

it may not be the way i would have chosen
when you lead me through a world that's not my home
but you never said it would be easy
you only said i'd never go alone

so when the whole world turns against me and i'm all by myself
and i can't hear you answer my cries for help
i'll remember the suffering your love put you through
and i will go through the fire if you want me to

You in the mirror starin back at me.
O' conscience let me be....
to the pure, all things are pure.
to those who defiled unbelieving: nothing is pure.
Their minds, their conscience defiled.
They profess to know God, but deceive him by deeds all the while.
Where do I stand on the rock or in the sand?
O' Holy Spirit won't you help me understand.
Holy spirit won't you say a prayer for me with your groanings.
My mind, my conscience defiled!
send the blood of the Lamb, don't leave me in exile.
What was the promise on the Cross of Calvary?
Confess the Lord and the truth shall set you free.
create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a steadfast spirit within me.
To my prayers you've always given heed.
Blessed be thy god.
Who never turned away from me.
Hid his face from all my sin, forgot my iniquity.
raise your hands sing praises to the Lord.
He's the King and he'll reign forevermore.
he died on the cross of Calvary.
he died to save a wretch like me.

I've exhausted every possible solution,
I've tried every last game there is to play.
In this search for the Christ like perfection
I'm convinced I've only left my God ashamed.
I cry I wonder can he hear my despair.
Afraid to lift my hands afraid he doesn't care.
And if he answers and I fall again
can I still be his daughter can I still depend on him.
When I'm down search every mistake, looking for new regrets.
sometimes I forget, I forget that his grace is sufficient for me.
that it's deeper and wider than I can conceive.
His Grace is sufficient for me.
My convictions seem to fade with desperation,
my hope declines with each and every tear.
My sin an anchor and this grace just an illusion.
The gavels heavy and justice is near.
Up comes the light and finds the stains on my hands.
Up comes my pride, I hide, I know he won't understand.
Cause it's deeper than deep and it's wider then wide.
why did I ever doubt now I'm dying inside.
His Grace is sufficient

There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to
That presses harsh hope against time.
In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
who only want to rob you blind.
They steal away any sense of peace,
tho I'm a king, I'm a king on my knees.
And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong
As the darkness covers me.
So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory, I am not afraid
To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness,
I have a kingdom to gain.
Where there is peace and Love in the Light,
in the Light, I am not afraid.
To let your light shine bright in my life, In my life.
There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away.
They linger in closets and under my bed,
And in pictures less proudly displayed.
A great fool in my Life I have been,
Have squandered til pallid and thin.
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
From darkness I know I've let win.
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
I've never been much for the bearing of soul
In the presence of any man.
I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure,
In the arms of a sinner I am.
Could it be that my worth should depend
By the crimson stained grace on a hand?
And like a lamp on a hill
Lord I pray in your will
to reveal all of you that I can.

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 excepted 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, 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.
Refine me.
All I can do.
IS lift my heart and soul to you.
And pray oh I will pray..
