GOD, WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO KINDLE
(Trueblood/Moore)

God, whose purpose is to kindle:
Now ignite us with Your fire;
While the earth awaits Your burning,
With Your passion us inspire.
Overcome our sinful calmness,
Rouse us with redemptive shame;
Baptize with Your fiery Spirit,
Crown our lives with tongues of flame.

God, who in Your holy gospel
Wills that we should truly live,
Make us sense our share of failure,
Our tranquility forgive.
Teach us courage as we struggle
In all liberating strife;
Lift the smallness of our vision
By Your own abundant life.

God, who still a sword delivers
Rather than a placid peace,
With Your sharpened Word disturb us,
From complacency release!
Save us now from satisfaction,
When we privately are free,
Yet are undisturbed in spirit
By another’s misery.

REFINER'S FIRE
(Doerksen)

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my Master
Ready to do Your will

Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within and make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin, deep within

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my Master
Ready to do Your will
