Refine Me

Just as gold is purified in a furnace,
I need you, my Maker…my Engineer, to refine me.

Make me whole.
Repair the damage I’ve done.
Take this man of imperfection,
Touch me with your hands of perfection.
With Your grace and mercy,
Shower me.
Give me a new walk.
Give me a new talk.
Put the mud over my eyes.
Continue to un-blind me.
My spirit within…continue to make it anew.
Let my reflection be of you.
Let your Word be made manifest within me.
Wisdom and discernment: instill it in me.

Keep refining. Don’t want to be a finished product.
If finished, I can no longer be perfected.
Keep molding me.
Don’t remove me from the fire.
Keep me in your refinery
Ridding me of my impurities,
Releasing the toxins out of my mind,
Cleansing the stains of my sin…
Becoming more defined,
Enhancing my mind,
Growing to be more introspective,
Clearer and improved prospective.

Keep me near.
Away from You, I am nothing.
I’m like the deer,
Thirsty, panting for more of You.
I’m only a man.
You’re the reason why I am what I am.
Decrease me.
Increase you.
With Your blood, cover me.
Justify me.
Re-shape me.
Change me.
Refine me.
