The fire of mercy consumes me
Burning the chaff of my sin
The gracious forgiveness subsumes me
Healing the gashes within.
Graciousness hurts; it burns away
What I want to hold with both fists
How long it will take, I cannot say
Jesus knows; He will heal even this.
I'd much rather experience this cleansing fire of refinement than the white hot wrath of God.
