A Refiner's Fire Lyrics

Do we not all have one Father?
Did not one God create us?
Why do we profane the covenant
By being unfaithful to one another?

So be on your guard
And do not be unfaithful

You have wearied the Lord
With your words by saying
'All who do evil are good
In the eyes of the Lord'

And he is pleased with them'
Or 'Where is the God of justice?'

I will send my messenger
Who will prepare the way before me
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

The messenger of the covenant
Whom you desire, will come
Suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

But who can endure
The day of his coming?
Who can stand
When he appears?

For he will be
Like a refiner's fire
He will be
Like a launderer's soap

He will sit as a refiner
And purifier of silver

Then the Lord will have men
Who will bring offerings
In righteousness
Acceptable to the Lord

As in days gone by
As in former years

I will send my messenger
Who will prepare the way before me
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

The messenger of the covenant
Whom you desire, will come
Suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

But who can endure
The day of his coming?
Who can stand
When he appears?

I will send my messenger
Who will prepare the way before me
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

The messenger of the covenant
Whom you desire, will come
Suddenly the Lord you are seeking
Will come to his temple

But who can endure
The day of his coming?
Who can stand
When he appears?
