Love of the Father

Baptize me oh Lord with fire, 
test me to the very core; 
Prove my love for you is true, 
it's you alone whom I adore. 

Chastise me when I sin, 
show me how much you care; 
Protect me when I am in danger, 
help me with the burdens I bare. 

And when Ive taken my last breath, 
with life growing ever dim; 
Please meet me at your holy gates, 
and guide me safely in.
