God's Refining Fire

God's Refining Fire

By: Mac Lynch

O Lord, we pray "Thy will be done" or "Master, here am I."

We pray You'd do a mighty work That to the flesh we'd die. 

And when the answer comes to us In form of trial and test,

We fail to see Your loving hand, Refining fire is best. 

That I may stand when You appear, Abide till Your return. 

O place the fire perfectly That all the dross be burned.

Whether furnace of affliction, Lord, Or unfulfilled desire, 

Bring forth a vessel pure and tried By Your refining fire. 

Refrain:

God's refining fire, God's refining fire, 

May it purge me now and make of me what You require.

O Lord, feed the fire, Your refining fire.

Now as gold and silver must be tried, 

Lord, may my heart be purified. 

Lord, send Your great refining fire.

Break Down the High Place

Break Down the High Place

In Israel's time Jehovah God was God alone;

But soon they worshiped heathen idols made of stone.

The high place used to worship God now mocks His holy name.

He's no longer God alone; His people bring Him shame.

In my own life I longed for God to have first place.

But soon my focus turned away from His dear face.

My heart was once reserved for Him, but soon I went astray.

He's no longer was God alone, I was seeking my own way.

Oh thank you, Lord, for loving me although I fall.

Please take my life and use it now I give You all.

I want You to have ev'rything; to please You is my goal.

In my heart You're God alone, my life You now control.

Refrain:

Help me break down the high place once reserved for You.

Help me rebuild my alter and worship You anew.

Help me cast out all thoughts that exalt above Your own.

Help me listen for Your sweet voice so Your will is always known.

Be not Discouraged

Be Not Discouraged

Though Satan buffet you,

Your flesh seems so weak.

Loneliness hinders you,

The way seems so bleak,

All strength is gone from you,

Escape you would seek.

Be not discouraged, look up!

Chorus:

Be not discouraged,

Be not discouraged,

Christ won the victory

The battle's been won,

Be not discouraged,

Be not discouraged,

Fight on, dear soldier

And You'll hear His "Well Done."

Look to the Savior

Every step of the way.

Turn every trial and

temptation His way.

Seek to bring glory,

Seek His word, and to pray.

Be not discouraged, look up!

When We All Get to Heaven

When We All Get to Heaven

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,

Sing His mercy and His grace;

In the mansions bright and blessed –

He’ll prepare for us a place.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway

Clouds will overspread the sky;

But when trav’ling days are over,

Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Let us then be true and faithful,

Trusting, serving ev’ry day;

Just one glimpse of Him in glory

Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!

Soon His beauty we’ll behold;

Soon the pearly gates will open – 

We shall tread the streets of gold.

Chorus:

When we all get to heaven,

What a day of rejoicing that will be!

When we all see Jesus,

We’ll sing and shout the victory.

My God is Near

My God is Near


Make me know your presence Lord, the King of Glory here.
You know each thought and action, hope, anxiety and fear.
How can I hide from Thee? Can darkness hide iniquity?
Oh how can I unfaithful be, when You are very near to me?


Chorus:
When God is near, all the world seems far away.
When God is near, every fear is set aside.
When God is near, how can I stray? How can I falter?
I’ll stay upon the altar, I know my God is near.


Make me know Your presence Lord, when I feel so alone.
You know each trial and testing pain, the hurt that is unknown.
Oh, why can I not see Your hand so firmly guiding me?
Oh how can I untrusting be, when You are very near to me?


(Repeat Chorus)

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord
by: Joe Zichterman

Tho the pathway before you uncertain maybe
Trust the Lord no good thing to withhold back from thee
He is perfect in wisdom and faithful to bless
Trust His word; in His time He will give you His best.

Chorus:
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as eagles
They shall run and not grow weary
They’ll walk and not faint
Wait, I say, wait on the Lord.

Be not weary in waiting for love suffers long
If you faint not, you’ll reap when the harvest is come
Run with patience the race as you rest on His word
For your testing will teach you to wait on the Lord.

(Repeat Chorus)

I am so sorry!

I will be updating this again! Sorry for abandoning this blog for 4 years. But I will try to make time to add more lyrics here. :)
