[Direction]

A song that use to bring me great joy...today...it seems a bit unreachable...but I still believe...

Purify my heart,
let me be as gold and precious silver.
Purify my heart,
let me be as gold, pure gold.

(Chorus)
Refiner's fire,
my heart's one desire
is to be holy;
set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be holy;
set apart for You, my Master,
ready to do Your will.

Purify my heart,
cleanse me from within
and make me holy.
Purify my heart,
cleanse me from my sin, deep within.

This hymn took my breath away once, after having heard it most of my life. It still sends chills up and down my spine!

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit ’till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

I forget that prayer I prayed all too often.

And then, there's:

Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me.
Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me.

Let me tell you! DON'T pray that prayer unless you KNOW you're more than ready to be melted and molded, filled and used by God!

He WILL refine, melt and mold unto His will! AMEN!

I think it was someone in the Bible who said to God, I believe, help thou my unbelief. God will surely purify us if we ask. He will show us how being in the world is quite different than being of the world.

Thanks Direction!
