Refine/Hear I Am To Worship (Maria Gilpin)

The Refiner’s Fire
“As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ‘He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.’ (Malachi 3:3) She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, ‘How do you know when the silver is fully refined?’ He smiled at her and answered, ‘Oh, that’s easy — when I see my image in it.’”
Refine
Standing here
In the middle of my mess
I’m ready to lay it down
You are here, You’re waiting on me
To refined in You fire
You are safe, I am known
Bring all that’s hidden to light
I bring everything I am
Just to follow you
Whatever it takes
Whatever the cost
I am Yours
Standing here
In the middle of my pain
I’m ready to lay it down
You are here , You’re waiting on me
To be refined in Your fire
You are here, I am loved
Bring all the dead things to life
Purify my heart
Renew my mind
Steady my soul
Until I am refined
