Lord God, I Pray that throughout my life that you’d remind me, refine me,
For all the things Thou would have me do, or be, and through Thine eyes see,
The need to do all the good I can to help others in this old world today,
And to be all that’s required of me as long as living on this earth I will stay.

But one day up yonder, when I see Thee face to face, let me not be ashamed
Of the times I erred, for lack of listening to Thy word. Let me be named
In Thy book of life. Let me with Thy help face the strife, and be sublimed ,
To be purified as is gold and silver, and by Thine own sweet hand divined.

Lord. As You refine me to take away the impurities from my own soul,
Remind me to listen; help me in submission, to let Thy will be mine own goal.
Help me remember days of yore Lord, before I came to belong to Thee.
Then, I knew not about Thy love, and the overcoming, and winning victory.

I look back o’er my life and this is what I see. Great sadness, brought about by me,
As I had not come to the Altar to meet with a Savior who is true and would be
The light of my life. Now and forever my whole life would be captured,
As this Savior of love and peace would spare my anguished soul, and Id be raptured.

Raptured one day into the heavens above, where doth my sweet Savior await,
And when I go there after the refining, I know He’ll meet me at the gate,
And Ill stroll all over Heaven with He, who brought me to this sweet place.
Bur most of all Ill be able to worship my Master, as I look into His own dear face.
