Miguel is an old friend from my days as campus minister
at Emerson College in Boston. When he posted this photo,
I immediately saw a prayer stirring in those leaves!
Gold leaf pressed beneath my feet,
my path embossed in amber beauty
dusted with your glory, Lord:
precious 24 carat proof
your grace glows all around me…
As gold is tried and tested, then,
refine my soul in purifying flames:
let your Spirit’s fire heal me, Lord,
’til, good as gold, I gleam and glow
as treasure in your hand…
You see what’s hidden under the surface
You see the beauty under the tarnish
You will find in fire what You call gold
You will find in fire what You can mold
Find me here in Your presence
I’m not leaving the same
Let Your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me
You have purpose, You see the outcome
You have intention, You’re bringing freedom
New hope, new life, new wine
We come together with
One breath, one voice, one cry
Jesus our Savior
