Excruciating Fire

A fruit sparkling   

Juicy and so beautiful 

Don’t you wanna come and take

So you’ll know whats good and evil

It’s not until the final bite

You find it was a mistake

You cannot make it right

It’s too late

Buy from the Father, gold

Refined by excruciating fire

Don’t let your heart be sold

To the enemy the liar 

Who tells you to fear

That God doesn’t really care

So cling to all that’s here

For God is not fair

He tells you this pain 

Is more than you can bare

It will  all be in vain

Yet God numbers every hair 

The world is fleeting

You are like a flower

Seen today then vanishing

make the most of every hour

You won’t know your last

So take up this cross 

Before it has past 

There is no greater loss

So if you loose your life 

Only then you will find it

Listen carefully!

The Fathers knocking at your door

Can’t you hear Him calling?

To all the needy and the poor

All those who are falling

He longs to carry you

So you might depend on Him

His every word is true 

Although the way is dim

That your faith might be

Strengthened in the mire 

And even if you cannot see

Its made pure by excruciating fire
