Struggling

I come into this place,
running to receive your peace.
I've come with my own chains
from wars I fought for my own selfish gain.

You're my God and my father;
I've accepted your son.
But my soul feels so empty now.
What have I become?

Lord, come with your fire
burn my desires, refine me.
Lord, my will has deceived me.
Please come and free me.
Refine me.

My heart can't see
when I only look at me.
My [spirit] can't hear
when I only think of my own fears.

They are gone in a moment;
you're forever the same.
Why did I look away from you?
How can I speak your name?

Lord, come with your fire,
burn my desires, refine me.
Lord, my will has deceived me.
Please come and free me.

Come rescue this child,
for I long to be reconciled to you.

It's all I can do
to give my heart and soul to you,
and pray,
and pray.
Oh, I will pray.

Lord, come with your fire,
burn my desires, refine me.
Lord, my will has deceived me.
Please come and free me.

Come rescue this child,
for I long to be reconciled to you.

Refine me.
Refine me.
Refine me.
Refine me.
