The gift of salvation
The waiting
Is not wasted
The testing
Refines me as gold
Fanning into flame
The gifts inside
Stirring up
My faith to endure
Search me God
And know my heart
Test me
Purify my motives
Like a purifier
Of silver
You mould me
For Your purposes
In quietness
& trust
Is my strength
My firm confidence
I may be hidden
But I am in Your hand
I may not understand
But You lead me through
My best days
Are ahead
What You have said
Will be tested
I have hope
Sustaining me in sorrow
Every tomorrow
Is known by You
During the storm
I wait on Your word
You give me insight
You provide for my needs
Every planted seed
Watered in faith
Has the power to save
The gift of salvation
Is by grace alone
You are my home
My place to rest
In Your perfect presence
You keep
In perfect peace
Those whose minds
Are fixed on You
You are my shield
You are my banner
You are my Father
Seated on the throne
I will not give up
On Your promises
I will not give up
On my calling
I will keep my eyes
On You
Forgive me Lord
For averting my gaze
You deserve my praise
You deserve it all
Even when I fall
You are faithful to catch me.
