"I did not learn Truth in the house of comfort.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
I learned Truth in the fire.โฃโฃโฃ
โฃAnd now I cry out,โฃโฃ
โLead me again into the fire, Oโ Redeemer,
โฃโฃI am not clean yet!โฃโฃ
Lead me again into the fire, Father,โฃโฃ
if my soul needs it to be free.โ
โฃโฃโฃโฃ...โฃโฃโฃโฃ
You knewโฃโฃ
that I could never come back to You
unclean.
โฃโฃAnd fire was the only solution.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃYou knew that I couldnโt burn,
โฃโฃthough everything I felt I was did burn.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
But now,โฃโฃ
having had my coverings thinned in the fire,
โฃโฃI see myselfโฃโฃ
and I crave Me more.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
My fear of burning is burning away.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
You are behind the flames.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
Indeed you are the flame!โฃโฃ
as well as the cool caress.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
May I be as You would have me be.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
Let me not fear the fire.โฃโฃโฃโฃYour Love is Love.โฃ"
