Refiner
by Hey Barnabas!, Eric McAllister

Album: Gather, Pray & Eat

Verse 1:
Be sweeter than the lure of sin
And this my only joy:
Relinquishing the whole of me
To your holy employ.

Verse 2:
My lust, my fury and my pride,
Every rebellious whim,
Deserve no right to hide, so I--
Devote them to their end.

Chorus:
Refiner, All-Consuming Fire,
Burn away what's earthly in me
And have Your way;
Refiner, come and purify the
Longings of my heart and captivate me
By Your grace!

Verse 3:
Search me and know me Holy Ghost--
You know the mind of God!--
You, who can seize infinite things,
Exhaust each secret thought.

Verse 4:
Turn over tables in my heart,
Where I would sell my soul;
Refine me 'til a hallowed zeal
Consumes my flesh and bones

Chorus:
Refiner, All-Consuming Fire,
Burn away what's earthly in me
And have Your way;
Refiner, come and purify the
Longings of my heart and captivate me
By Your grace!

Bridge:
And who shall stand when the Son of Man
Comes suddenly to judge the quick and dead?
But the pure in heart, they shall see their God,
All beautifully arrayed in righteousness!

Verse 5:
Daily, O God I need Your grace,
Glory is worth this war--
All to see Jesus face to face,
Where sin will be no more!

Chorus:
Refiner, All-Consuming Fire,
Burn away what's earthly in me
And have Your way;
Refiner, come and purify the
Longings of my heart and captivate me
By Your grace!

Bridge:
And who shall stand when the Son of Man
Comes suddenly to judge the quick and dead?
But the pure in heart, they shall see their God,
All beautifully arrayed in righteousness!

Tag:
I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see Jesus)
I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see you...)
Burn away what's earthly in me
And have Your way;
I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see Jesus)
I wanna see Jesus (I wanna see you...)
Purify my heart and captivate me
By Your grace!
