These are the words to the song the young kids sang on Sunday.  I had never heard it before, and it touched me so deeply.  I just wept during the whole song.  The line about taking the open door reminded me so strongly of part of my testimony.  And I was convicted by the fact that His holy fire is applied to purify me, not make me resentful and bitter.  I appreciated the song so much.  I'll put part of my testimony here:

One Sunday afternoon Bro. Steve had us get on our knees and cry out to the Lord.  I don’t remember what motivated this, but I do remember some of the scriptures he had been focusing on at that time.  One that really impacted me was Rev. 3:7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.”  Bro. Steve was emphasizing that when Christ opens a door, it is OPEN.  Also, that Christ is the one with the power to open the door to my salvation.  When we kneeled to pray, the entire church was crying out and seeking the Lord.  I had a vision of myself in a very dark and slimy dungeon.  I was chained to the ground just moaning and miserable.  Then I felt a light from somewhere above and to the side of me enter the dungeon.  I saw the Lord standing in a doorway.  Not sure why, but I could not see His face.  I only saw His form.  I felt hope.  But He just stood in the doorway.  I cried out to Him, “What are you doing?  I am your child!  Come in here and get me out.  Can’t you see I’m in these chains?  I am your child!”  But He did not make a move.  Then I felt Him tell me to get up and walk.  He told me there was a Way and a path that led out of that prison I was in, and I had to walk it.  He told me that He was that path and if I would follow the path, I would not, and could not, continue to stay in the bondage and filth of that dungeon.
