Lyrics

Verse 1
You see what's hidden under the surface
You see the beauty under the tarnish  
You will find in fire what you call gold  
You will find in fire what you can mold


Chorus
Find me here in Your presence 
qI'm not leaving the same
Let your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me  


Verse 2
You have purpose, You see the outcome
You have intention, You're bringing freedom  
You will find in fire what you call gold  
You will find in fire what you can mold


Chorus
Find me here in Your presence 
I'm not leaving the same
Let your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me
You can start it in me  


Bridge
New hope, new life, new wine
We come together with
One breath, one voice, one cry 
Jesus, our Savior


Bridge 2
New hope, new life, new wine
We come together with
One breath, one voice, one cry 
Jesus, our Savior

Chorus
Find me here in Your presence 
I'm not leaving the same
Let your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me


Tag
O God come with revival
You can start it in me

Meaning & Inspiration

The song uses the refining of gold as an image of spiritual purification in God’s presence. Hidden beauty is revealed beneath tarnish, while fire represents a process that removes what does not belong and shapes what remains. The chorus responds with surrender, asking for renewed purity, humility before God’s glory, and revival that begins within the worshiper. Its emphasis is not on effortless change but on remaining near God through transformation.

Malachi 3:3 supplies a close biblical parallel by describing the Lord as a refiner who purifies his people like gold and silver. First Peter 1:6-7 likewise compares tested faith with gold refined by fire, while 2 Corinthians 3:18 speaks of transformation in the Lord’s presence. The bridge widens the prayer from an individual plea to a united confession of hope and life in Jesus. Together, these images frame revival as inward renewal that leads to shared worship and dependence on Christ.
