Verse 1 When the night is long and the road is worn And my strength feels weak from the weight I've borne When the tears fall down like the driving rain You are with me there in the heart of pain When the world gives way and my plans are dust You are teaching me how to walk by trust For the flame may rise, but it won't destroy You are turning sorrow into joy Pre-Chorus What is tested in the fire Comes out purer, lifted higher Though the trial tries my soul You are still in full control Chorus Refined by fire, I'm being made new Burning away what keeps me from You Though gold may fade and kingdoms fall Faith that endures is worth more than all In every trial, in every scar You are proving who You are Refined by fire, Lord, let me see You're making treasure inside of me Verse 2 In the furnace of the unknown days I have learned to lift my heart in praise Not because the flames are small or mild But because I'm held by the Father's smile Every burden, every grief I bear Meets Your mercy flowing everywhere And the heat that meant to bring me fear Is the very place You draw me near Pre-Chorus What is tested in the fire Finds a hope that climbs still higher And though I bend, I will not break Held by every promise You still make Chorus Refined by fire, I'm being made new Burning away what keeps me from You Though gold may fade and kingdoms fall Faith that endures is worth more than all In every trial, in every scar You are proving who You are Refined by fire, Lord, let me see You're making treasure inside of me Bridge So if I walk through valleys deep I will trust the One who carries me If the flames rise up, I will not fear The Refiner's hand is steady here And when at last my race is done I will shine with the work You've done Not for my glory, not my name But praise and honor to proclaim Final Chorus Refined by fire, I'm being made new This tested faith is leading me to You More precious far than finest gold Is the living hope my heart now holds In every trial, in every scar You were nearer than I knew You are Refined by fire, Lord, all I see Is Your glory rising out of me Outro Through trials and tribulation You are my strength and my salvation Refined by fire, faithful and true
