Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
The ruins of Corinth. The people that lived here
certainly went through the crucible and the furnace.

"I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested
you in the furnace of affliction." Isaiah 48:10

THE CRUCIBLE AND THE FURNACE
The crucible and the furnace,
of pain and of sorrow.
The crucible and the furnace,
Purifies us for tomorrow.

The crucible and the furnace,
Removes the dross of sin.
The crucible and the furnace,
Cleanses us within.

The crucible and the furnace,
Polishes away all stain.
The crucible and the furnace,
Only love shall remain.

The crucible and the furnace,
Every Christian must endure.
The crucible and the furnace,
Reminds us God is here!
