REFINED AS GOLD

 

For quite some time I've been plagued

With sickness and disease

Now it's hard to do the things

I used to do with ease

It seems each time I'd overcome

I would hit another wall

And every time I took a step

I would quickly fall

One night not too long ago

I went to God in prayer

And said you tell us in your word

To cast on you our care

Lord please tell me what I've done

To make you mad at me

Open up my blinded eyes & let me clearly see

In quietness I heard him say

My child please understand

Though you're passing through the valley

I still hold you in my hand

You have not done a thing my child

To make me mad at you

But this is for my glory and I'm going to see you through

You're going to come out stronger

Than you ever did before

I am refining you as gold that will last forever more
