Heavenly Fires

written by Daniel Piper

My mind needs to turn back to You.

For my flesh is weak and tired.

I want to rest by Your still waters,

While my soul is refined by Your Heavenly fires.

I cannot go through this life alone.

I cannot ever make decisions on my own.

You have disciplined me with a strong, yet gentle hand.

I now trust you with all of my life’s plans.

You have made me into a brand new creation.

I can feel you molding my life like clay.

The Lord is my rock, my daily foundation.

His Spirit is alive and its guidance is the only way.

You say an unspeakable reward is coming.

So why do I feel unspeakable joy and peace inside?

I know one thing is true.

I cannot act on my own.

Every time I do, I fall flat on my face.

Perhaps Heaven’s joy and peace come with shattered pride.

There’s no shame in surrender and laying down by Your still waters.

When I’m restful in the Lord’s presence, my soul is refined by Heavenly fires.
