99. I Can, I Will

1 Refining fire, go thro' my heart,
Refining fire, go thro' my heart,
Refining fire, go thro' my heart,
Illuminate my soul.

Chorus No. 1:
I can, I will, I do believe,
I can, I will, I do believe,
I can, I will, I do believe,
That Jesus saves me now.

Chorus No. 2:
I'm kneeling at the mercy seat,
I'm kneeling at the mercy seat,
I'm kneeling at the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers pray'r.

2 Scatter Thy life thro' ev'ry part,
Scatter Thy life, thro' ev'ry part,
Scatter Thy life, thro' ev'ry part,
And sanctify the whole.

3 Oh, that it now from heav'n might fall,
Oh, that it now from heav'n might fall,
Oh, that it now from heav'n might fall,
And all my sins consume.

4 Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee I call,
Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee I call,
Come, Holy Ghost, for Thee I call,
Spirit of burning, come.
