A Consuming Fire

 



Fire comes to consume;

To purify, to renew

 

Allowing Fire to burn off the dross

My heart becomes lighter

 

Restoration comes only

When we submit to Fire’s purification

 

Layer upon layer, Fire burns through

Ashes build-up, but it makes all new

 

All my passions and desires I submit to Fire

Any that are unrighteous or unloving

 

Like a log placed on a campfire

Each desire or passion burns in purification

 

Lord,

Purify these desires so they will be white as snow

That I may walk into your presence without guilt

Or shame.
