The Reflection of His Image
There are often many times, God seems to not respond, It seems He leaves us hanging there And we feel our faith’s not strong But His eyes are ever on us When we are in the heat, He will not let us be in there More than He thinks we need Though we feel we can’t endure The fire any more, It’s needful to burn away all sin And the things not of the Lord We all go through the testing fire The Lord’s refining flame, Though it’s painful to go through, We’ll be forever changed He brings us out of the fiery furnace When He clearly sees in us, The reflection of His perfect image And the beauty of His love So don’t give up in deep despair Thinking God’s abandoned you, Know that He is in control And He will bring you through.© By M.
