Refine Me
Your so patient with me
Faithful and sure
To make me into something better
You know prayers that I've prayed
The tears that I've cried
Lord you know my heart's desire
Oh, to know You
To be more like You
Do what You need to
Help me to trust You
Even if Your love brings me suff'ring
Help me to hold on
To know that You're strong
Enough to see me through completely
Refine me
Your joy will be my strength
While I'm in these flames
I'm becoming Your reflection
Your kindness will be my song
Though I'm not alone
Your presence is my consolation
Oh, to know you
I'm longing for you
Do what you need to
Help me to trust you
Even if Your love brings me suff'ring
Help me to hold on
To know that You're strong
Enough to see me through completely
Refine me
Oh God! My God!
Refine me
Oh God! Merciful God!
All for Your glory
All for my good
To know Your love much deeper
Than I thought I ever could
Refine me, Oh!
Do what You need to
Help me to trust You
Even if Your love brings me suff'ring
Help me to hold on
To know that you're strong
Enough to see me through completely
Refine me
Oh God! My God! Please!
Refine me
Oh God! Merciful God!
Your so patient with me
Faithful and sure
To make me into something better
