Through the Fire

This is a song that I've loved from the first time I heard it at the Tennessee Baptist Convention. Englewood Baptist Church's praise team sang it. They shared a testimony before hand...one of the ladies had lost her teenage son recently, and their music minister's wife had cancer (she has since passed away). Despite these circumstances, they chose to trust God to take them through the fire. I hope this video is an encouragement to you in whatever circumstance you may face as you listen!



Through the Fire
So many times I've questioned those certain circumstances
And things I could not understand
And many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
That's when my frustration seems to get to out of hand
Its then I am reminded, I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand one test alone
That's when I look at all the victories
The Spirit rises up in me
And its through the fire my weakness is made strong

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again

I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the mighty hand of God, He'll shield the flames again, again

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
