God uses fires strife and trials Archives - Page 3 of 4

Set us on Fire

To be fuel, for Your fire
May this light, burn bright
As a beacon of hope
So lost souls, find sight.

Satan came before God
In heaven to accuse
Not to worship, nor praise
But Job, to misuse.

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.

God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.

His bloodshed, our new birth
By God’s Spirit, divine
From death, now resurrection
LORD, all the glory is Thine!

So be ready, prepare
For our freedom is fading
Our faith is attacked
Great wickedness, invading.

God assures we shall pass
Yes, thru’ deep waters go
But He will be with us
They shall not overflow.

The LORD gives, and He takes
He rules, as He will
He is sovereign, all powerful
So be quiet, and still.

Our Master Craftsman ceases not
With skillful hands of love
To weave our lives, to that of Christ
Sat glorified above.
