Ruthless Perfection

Iron sharpens iron, deep cries to deep
The roar of the lion rouses from sleep
All who would heed the call of their election
He'll baptize them with fire
And work His ruthless perfection

Is it any wonder, is it any guess
How He will respond to the one who answers yes, yes
I will yield to Your love and Your correction
In mercy severe, He will work His ruthless perfection

As we behold Him, we will be like Him
Changed from glory into glory into glory again
As we behold Him, we will be like Him
Changed from glory into glory into glory again

Let's call on His kindness and fall on our face
Surrender the flesh to His judgment and grace
Comes the cross so comes the resurrection
Let us be made new by a work of ruthless perfection

All who would heed the call of their election
He will baptize them with fire
And work His ruthless perfection

Baptize them with fire
Baptize them with fire
Work His ruthless perfection
Ruthless perfection...
