Consuming fire -
that now burns,
Devouring all the flesh that spurns
The move of God which now returns
To fuse us into one with God.
Energy force - His
power divine,
In perfect balance to align
Each soul that thou dost now refine
Into the harmony of God.
Restoring to our
first estate,
Thou didst become the narrow gate
Leading into the way that's strait,
For our returning into God.
Consuming fire -
this we know,
That though we're caught within thy throe,
Ere thou dost turn our loss to praise
Acceptable unto our God.
A friend, and not a
foe, thou art,
Thus on the altar of our heart
Remain with us, to now impart
The glorious triumph of our God.
Until in Christ we,
too, shall be
Fulfillment of the mystery -
A living, bright reality,
Consuming fire of our God!
