Refine me O’ Lord,
purify me through and through
remove all my imperfections
until I see only You.
Refine me O’ Lord,
purge the old man out of me
expose my own wickedness
till Your goodness lives in me.
Refine me O’ Lord,
take me through the fire
until it’s only You
that my heart desires.
Refine me O ‘ Lord,
filter Your love through me
polish Your image into my soul
till Your light shines in me.
Refine me O’ Lord,
test me in Your truth and way
perfect in me a faultless heart
so from You ~ I’ll never stray.
Refine me O’ Lord,
purify me through and through
remove all my imperfections
so I can spend eternity with You!

1 Peter 1:7
King James Version
“That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious
than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise
and honourand glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ:”
