Refine

It seems as though my prayers for God to refine me have not gone unanswered. I began praying that prayer sincerely several months ago. I knew He would answer, but wasn't very sure how it would come or how I would handle the process. The past few months have been difficult and it hurts when things are uprooted and God begins to bring things to the surface. There has been joy and thankfulness born out of the painful process though.


Today I was listening to praise and worship and one song in particular blessed me. Kari Jobe's song has been a reminder to me of God's faithfulness, His love, His unmerited favor for us. Just thought I'd share the lyrics.


You Are For Me
Verse 1 -
So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true
So powerful in all You do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you

Chorus
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weaknesses
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are

Verse 2
So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true
So wonderful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you
