I have been chosen to be driven to humility
to be wholly refined in your holy blaze of fire
and even when I'm sturdy, I pray you'll keep my knees dirty
may the heart of your will be my only heart's desire

one thousand miles of road not taken
sure I tremble, yet my faith will not be shaken
you're teaching me, you're in control
sure the waves could knock me down but I say let 'em roll

'cause I have been chosen to be driven to humility
to be wholly refined in your holy blaze of fire
and even when I'm sturdy, I pray you'll keep my knees dirty
may the heart of your will be my only heart's desire

I don't mean to boast about my tomorrows
but I'm resting in the man
who knows my pain and all my sorrows

I have been chosen to be driven to humility
to be wholly refined in your holy blaze of fire
and even when I'm sturdy, I pray you'll keep my knees dirty
may the heart of your will be my only heart's desire

well, your kindness brought repentance
for the years of foolish pride
sometimes you've got to knock me down
just so I can see the light

I have been chosen to be driven to humility
to be wholly refined in your holy blaze of fire
and even when I'm sturdy, I pray you'll keep my knees dirty
may the heart of your will be my only heart's desire
