Psalm 66: Through Fire and Water
---------
God has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping
For God tested us
and refined us like silver
You let people ride over our heads
we went through fire and water
but you brought us to a place of abundance
----------
When the ancients purified gold and silver
they would heat the metal
until the impurities floated to the top
They would skim off the junk
The ore was pure when the worker
could see his face in the reflection
This has been a year of fiery trials and murky waters
But God brought you through for a purpose
When we go through these fires
God is not trying to destroy you
But to bring out that reflection of Christ's face
Let the world see God's reflection in you
-----------------------------
When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine
