The Refiner
God purifies us, like a Refiner, from dross
Through trials, inner conflict, loss;
We search for understanding in vain
The reasons seem to elude us again and again.
Though He appears not to be around,
We know His wisdom is sound;
These trials are merely to test our faith
“I am always with you”, in the Bible, He saith.
In the Refiner’s furnace thus confined
Each soul is strengthened and refined;
As we are established in His perfect mould
He polishes until our character is changed to gold.
So, let’s keep walking our Saviour’s way
Trusting that His grace is sufficient each day;
Let’s seek to obey His Holy Will
Believing that all His promises, He will fulfil.
