Cleansing Fire

Our Lord dives deep in us to crush
     The pride within our hearts;
He comes with Moses’ burning bush
     To cleansing fire impart.

He speaks salvific words we hear—
     Within we’re holy ground;
He comes to burn our sin and fear
     That new life may be found.

The sin in us by fire consumed
     And blown away like smoke–
Makes for Himself in our hearts room
     To heal the hearts we broke.

For broken hearts can joy now know
     When Jesus makes His home
In us: from fire will new life grow,
     And we new selves become.
