VERSE:

I come into this place
G          
Burning to receive your peace
  D               A
I come with my own chains
     Em                                    A
From wars I've fought for my own selfish gain


BRIDGE:
           D          A
You're my God and my Father
       D            G

But my soul feels so empty now
G               A
What have I become

D    Em
Lord come with Your fire
D/F#              A
Burn my desires refine me
D       Em
Lord my will has deceived me
D/F#                      A
Please come and free me refine me


VERSE:
My heart can't see
When I only look at me
My soul can't hear
When I only think of my own fears


BRIDGE:
But they are gone in a moment
You're forever the same
Why did I look away from You
How can I speak Your name


CHORUS:
D    Em
Lord come with Your fire
D/F#              A
Burn my desires refine me
D       Em
Lord my will has deceived me
D/F#
Please come and free me
A
Come rescue this child
    G             (A) Bm          A
For I long to be reconciled to You


TAG:
     Bm         A
It's all I can do
   G                  A
To give my heart and soul to You and pray
    G               A
And pray oh I will pray


REPEAT CHORUS


OUTRO:
  G          Bm     A 
Refine me, refine me
  G          Bm     A  D
Refine me, refine me
