You see what's hidden under the surface
You see the beauty under the tarnish
You will find in fire what You call gold
You will find in fire what You can mold
Find me here in Your presence
I'm not leaving the same
Let Your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me
You have a purpose, You see the outcome
You have intention, You're bringing freedom
You will find in fire what You call gold
You will find in fire what You can mold
Find me here in Your presence
I'm not leaving the same
Let Your refining fire
Purify me again
Let the weight of Your glory
Bring me back to my knees
O God come with revival
You can start it in me
You can start it in me
New hope, new life, new wine
We come together with
One breath, one voice, one cry
Jesus our Savior
New hope, new life, new wine
We come together with
One breath, one voice, one cry
Jesus our Savior
New hope, new life, new wine

"Gold" by Jesus Culture is a powerful song that speaks to the refining and purifying work of God in our lives. The lyrics remind us that God sees the beauty in us, even when we feel tarnished or broken. He sees the potential for something valuable and precious, just like gold.
The song begins with the lines, "You see what's hidden under the surface, You see the beauty under the tarnish." These words remind us that God sees beyond our outward appearance or our flaws. He sees the potential within us, the beauty that can be brought forth through His refining fire.
The idea of God refining us like gold is not new in Scripture. In the book of Malachi, God says, "But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver" (Malachi 3:2-3). This imagery of refining and purifying speaks to the process of God shaping us and molding us into who He created us to be.
In the chorus of the song, we sing, "Find me here in Your presence, I'm not leaving the same. Let Your refining fire purify me again." This is a cry for God to continue His work in us, to refine us and purify us. We recognize that we are a work in progress, and we need His refining fire to continue to transform us.
The bridge of the song declares, "New hope, new life, new wine. We come together with one breath, one voice, one cry. Jesus our Savior." This is a declaration of the newness and life that comes from being refined by God. We are made new in His presence, and we come together as one body, united in our cry for revival and transformation.
The song is a reminder that God can start a revival in each one of us. It is a call for us to surrender ourselves to His refining fire, allowing Him to purify us and shape us into vessels of His glory. It is a cry for revival, not just in the church, but in our own hearts.
The inspiration behind the song "Gold" comes from the realization that we are all in need of God's refining and purifying work in our lives. It is a recognition that we are not perfect, but that God sees the potential for something beautiful within us. The song also reflects the heart of Jesus Culture, a worship movement that desires to see a generation transformed by the love and power of God.
In conclusion, "Gold" by Jesus Culture is a powerful song that speaks to the refining and purifying work of God in our lives. It reminds us that God sees the potential for something valuable and precious within us, even when we feel broken or tarnished. The song is a cry for God to continue His work in us, to refine us and shape us into vessels of His glory. It is a declaration of newness and life that comes from being refined by God. May we surrender ourselves to His refining fire and allow Him to purify us, starting a revival within us.
