Test Me

Jesus, When you test me in the furnace of affliction,
May the impurities all be burned away.
Make me as pure as silver and gold.

When I am in the flames of testing;
As steel is hardened in the furnace,
May my life become so resilient.

May I accept the fire as refining and not torture,
As discipline and not punishment,
As freeing and not imprisonment.

May I always remember,
Your Spirit is there in the midst of the Heat,
So...., I accept and submit to your refining.
