Going though the Fire

I've got to go through the fire, this I understand,
It tempers my Spirit, it makes me what I am.
It brings me closer Lord, much closer to You,
because in myself, I wouldn't know what to do.

But still it's not easy to go through the fire,
To put all my trust in You, takes a great desire.
But like Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego
I'll walk through it anyway, cuz this is how I grow.

So when times get hard I won't rely on myself,
I won't seek my own works, and put Yours on a shelf.
I won't rely on my brain to tell me what to do,
Instead I'll seek You Lord, to find my way through.

Fire of God

O fire of God
Cleanse these filthy hands
Cleanse my filthy feet
Cleanse my filthy lips
To serve and worship Thee
 
Fire of God
Burn in me
Burn divinely
Holiness for Thee

Fire of God
Burn in me
Make me alive
So I won't live for the world 
Consume the lust in me
 
I’m on my way home Father
Get me safely there
across all the miles
Keep me climbing heavens stair
 
I heard your voice within
That very first call 
Your love drew me
Helped me to stand tall
 
Fire of God burn within
Sear me with your word
Jesus my victory
Your promises assured 
 
I've nothing father to offer Thee
But this cloak of sin
O father wash this filthy rag
In the blood in the Lamb
 
There’s no good in me
Any good I would do
Is only found in you
 faithful and true
 
I come, an unrighteous sinner
I surrender my all
empty handed I come
Thee I offer my all and all
 
O fire of God
Cleanse these filthy hands
Cleanse my filthy feet
Cleanse my filthy lips
To serve and worship Thee
