\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forged in fire, flames lifting higher and higher\u2026<\/h6>\n
My body begins to melt\u2026<\/h6>\n
My mind is tormented by things I\u2019ve never felt\u2026<\/h6>\n
What is this Lord, don\u2019t take your Spirit from me<\/em>, I cry out!!!<\/h6>\n
Sleepless nights and weary days\u2026I try, to pray\u2026<\/h6>\n
Words go no higher than the ceiling\u2026I grieve with pity and complacency<\/h6>\n
Taking Your Word I read and read, but nothing seen, can take this trail away\u2026<\/h6>\n
God you said\u2026<\/h6>\n
It is written…<\/h6>\n
Your words are true\u2026<\/h6>\n
But there is nothing I can do\u2026that brings me peace\u2026what is this God? I am lost without you\u2026drowning beneath the sea\u2026<\/h6>\n
I cannot see a way out of this. What, I just don\u2019t know\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m at my wit’s end\u2026<\/h6>\n
Help me my friend\u2026I\u2026am\u2026desperate for you\u2026<\/h6>\n
Holy fire and Holy Wind\u2026like an earthquake\u2026shattering\u2026<\/h6>\n
The tempest breaking in, to set me free\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus, I need only thee\u2026<\/h6>\n
Broken, and surrendered,\u00a0I’m piled onto the ashes of my will\u2026<\/h6>\n
Tears wash my soul and my mind is still\u2026<\/h6>\n
Submerged beneath your loving faithful hand\u2026<\/h6>\n
I can do nothing without your command\u2026I humbly bow and wait\u2026until\u2026<\/h6>\n
I lay down my life for there\u2019s nothing left of me; the consuming fire is all I see<\/h6>\n
Pure gold forged within my soul. Metamorphosed, you\u2019ve made me whole.<\/h6>\n
Counting it all Joy to be among so great a cloud of witnesses<\/em>, so I\u2019ve been told\u2026<\/h6>\n
Nothing strange has taken me, as closer and closer I\u2019m drawn to thee\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus, my comfort and security\u2026<\/h6>\n
That the trial of my faith was wrought in thee…<\/h6>\n
More precious than pure gold, the dross disposed of, and all that\u2019s left of me,<\/h6>\n
Is Love.<\/h6>\n
