Standard (EADGBE)

So many times I question certain circumstances

 and things I could not understand.

Many times in trials weakness blurs my vision

 and my frustration gets so out of hand.

It's then I am reminded, I've never been forsaken.

 I've never had to stand one test alone.

 When I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me.

 It's through the fire my weakness is made strong.

(chorus)

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy

 and the hill would not be hard to climb.

 He never offered a victory without fighting.

 He said help would always come in time.

 Remember when you're standing in the valley of decision

 and the advisary says give in, hold on.

 Our Lord will show up

 and He will take you through the fire again

(Bridge)

I know within myself that I would surly perish

If I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flame again.
