lyrics

naked - nakedness exposed
nothing - naught in which to boast
crawling - crawling to the flame
burning - burn away my name
dying - death for all my pride
living - life of sacrifice
offering - offering my soul
letting - letting go of hope

in myself, there is no salvation
i cannot drag this soul to heaven
in myself, there is no power to redeem
yet this weakness is stronger than it seems

inside the fire i reside because Your spirit there abides
remember not the empty days, letting the holy fill me
my will turned over here to die, my stubborn heart to sanctify
surrender to the searing light, seeking my life will kill me

count the cost, knowing what i’ll suffer
from now on, cast no gaze on the life of the former
turn around and run, escaping the sulfur
desolate black ash rains, the past is darker than fire
all in now, can’t look back once i enter
extirpate the dross, refining like silver
purified and whole, peaceful at my center
finding rest, residence on the altar
