Baptism by fire

"Holy, holy, holy" angels cry in harmony

the truthful prophet cries... "I am undone! Woe is me!"

A fire so hot and holy that angels dare not touch

Burns in a holy cauldron that hands can never clutch.

Purify my open wound- this flesh that is a curse

To cleanse and to atone- in death's baptism to immerse

Burning my flesh as a sacrifice, a living offering

Burn me til I am undone and my life to you I bring...

This shadow of the almighty reveals itself one day

We see the fire of Jesus in glory now arrayed

In clarity and purity-then we shall surely see

The beauty of his holiness for all eternity!
