Fire

Father the fire of temptation comes when i am alone.
I seek Your secure hand
when the fire shakes my senses
and my flesh responds
when I refuse its desire
Your Hand reminds me i am secure

I seek Your sustaining word
when my world seems to whirl
and the past blurs before my eyes
I repeat the Word i have hid in my heart
Your promises remind me i am secure

I seek Your stabilizing voice
when old sins call me across the waves
and the shore of sand looks inviting
I concentrate on Your voice alone
Your breath alone reminds me i am secure

I seek Your steadying eyes
as i walk past every fleshly indulging sin
like restaurant it entices me to stop in
I keep my gaze fixed on Your eyes
Your eyes remind me i am loved and i am secure

Then when the fiery trial is done
and i rest at Your side
I shall stand in You alone
and count the growth in it
I shall consider the fire joy
and remember i am secure even through the fire
