Refine Me

As I've been working through this craft space, iTunes (cranked through the computer speakers, as I kept catching the wires from my iPod/headphones on stuff) has been keeping me company. I've had fun getting "reacquainted" with some of past favorites... I'd forgotten how much I like Jennifer Knapp's lyrics. I particularly like Refine Me from her Kansas album.


I come into this place
Burning to receive your peace
I come with my own chains
From wars I've fought for my own selfish gain
You're my God and my Father
I've accepted your Son
But my soul feels so empty now
What have I become?

Lord, come with your fire,
Burn my desires; refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Refine me

My heart can't see
When I only look at me
My soul can't hear
When I only think of my own fears
They are gone in a moment
You're forever the same
Why did I look away from You
How can I speak Your name?

Lord, come with Your fire,
burn my desires; refine me
Lord, my will has deceived me
Please come and free me
Come rescue this child
For I long to be reconciled to You...
