But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. (1 Peter 1:15)

This song was birthed in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic first struck. I wondered, “What was God doing in the midst of all this? How is His hand moving, even in this chaos?” I felt that the Lord was issuing an awakening call to His people - to acknowledge and revere Him as Sovereign Lord. We are often familiar with God as Lover, Father, Friend; this moment of history reminds us that He is also the God to be revered.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Mercy
You’ve shown me mercy 
It’s Your blood that rescued me
Kindness
You’ve poured out kindness
While we were enemies 

PRE-CHORUS
Show me how to walk in Your ways
Put in me the fear of Your name 

CHORUS
The fire of God
The flame of Love 
Purify my heart on the altar 
I’ll bring my life
A sacrifice 
Only for You, God
I surrender 

VERSE 2
Holy
Come make me holy 
I want to be like You
Glory
Show me Your glory
You’ve torn the veil in two 

BRIDGE
Refine me
Make me holy 
Purify me
With the fire in Your eyes

“Show me how to walk in Your ways / put in me the fear of Your name.”

This line from the song, taken from Psalm 86:11, is a prayer - that God will give us a holy fear that spurs us to lead lives that are tested by fire and purified for His delight.
