Written during a season of chronic sinusitis and neuralgia, after meditating on Daniel 3 - where Daniel's friends are thrown into the furnace.
Lyrics:
When troubles come like blazing fire
And fears like flames arise
I put my faith in you, my God
You're my hope, my strength, my guide

The fire is stoked the heat is raised
The outcome seems unsure
But you are God, you never change
And in you I stand secure

So I will praise you through the pain
And I will praise you when the flames surround me
Jesus you're the name above all names
You deserve my adoration
Even when the fire is raging
Unafraid and unreservedly
I will worship you always

When in the furnace I must stand
And flames are all around
You go before, you hold my hand
I will walk with you unbound

My God you are able to save
There is power in your glorious name
Even in the fire you are worthy of praise
I will worship you always

When I come through this fiery trial
Whole and purified
No smell of smoke will linger behind
And refined like gold I'll shine
