lyrics

words & music by Stephen Bautista


the trials of life ignite and fan the flames
that purify and purge my selfish ways
melted down like broken shards of steel
i'm molded back into the father's will

chorus
forged in the fire
refined for the father's desire
then by grace cooled by the waters of his love
forged in the fire
by troubles that help to shape me into the one
i know that He wants me to become

the fire burns with fierce intensity
to soften any hardness left in me
then the hammer bends and reshapes every line
'till I'm closer to the original design

chorus

bridge:
consumed completely by the flames
he surrounds me with his soothing grace
and teaches me to trust his higher ways

chorus
